What should you do first if you become lost in the woods?

Run in the direction you think is right
Panic and shout for help
Stay put and make yourself visible
Try to catch an animal for food

The correct answer is: Stay put and make yourself visible

When lost in the woods, the first thing you should do is stay put and make yourself visible. Running in a random direction can cause you to get more lost and potentially run into dangerous situations. Panicking and shouting for help can also be dangerous as it can attract unwanted attention from dangerous animals or people. Trying to catch an animal for food should not be your first priority as it requires time and energy that could be better spent on trying to get rescued. Staying put and making yourself visible increases your chances of being found by search and rescue teams.
