Lost in the Wilderness
If you find yourself lost, immediately stop and take action. Start a fire or sit down to eat/drink while putting on the kettle. This practice, learned in a forestry school survival course in Swedish Lappland, helps calm you down and provides comfort. Prioritize your well-being and take proactive steps to stay calm and focused while figuring out your next steps.
Only proceed once you have a clear direction and plan, as getting lost in such environments can have severe consequences.
