What is the first thing you should do if you become lost?

Run in one direction
Stay put and make yourself visible
Try to find your own way back immediately
Hide from wildlife

The correct answer is: Stay put and make yourself visible

If you become lost, the first thing you should do is stay put and make yourself visible. By staying in one place, you will increase your chances of being found by search and rescue teams. It is important to make yourself visible by using items such as brightly colored clothing, a whistle to make noise, or building a signal fire to attract attention. Running in one direction or trying to find your way back immediately can make it harder for rescuers to locate you. Hiding from wildlife is not the best course of action when you are lost, as it would not help in being found and may even put you at risk of a potential encounter with wildlife.
