Find Shelter

If you are lost in the woods at night and need shelter. "Cover yourself with brush and leaves and lie by the side of trees. If possible, light a safe campfire. Using down trees or finding ground cover work too. Don't forget to dress in proper clothing depending on the weather and environment."
