Which of the following is a recommended practice for ensuring you are found if lost?

Leave a trip plan with someone who is not going with you
Only tell people where you went if you do not return on time
Rely on your cell phone GPS only
Do not tell anyone your hunting location

The correct answer is: Leave a trip plan with someone who is not going with you

Leaving a trip plan with someone who is not going with you is a recommended practice for ensuring you are found if lost because it provides vital information about your planned whereabouts and schedule. This person can notify authorities or search parties if you do not return as planned, helping to expedite the search and rescue process. This is a proactive measure to increase your chances of being located quickly if you find yourself in a survival situation. Options B, C, and D are not recommended practices for ensuring you are found if lost. Option B suggests a reactive approach by only notifying others if you do not return on time, which can delay rescue efforts. Option C relying solely on your cell phone GPS is risky as cell phone signals can be unreliable in remote areas or if the battery dies. Option D not telling anyone your hunting location hinders emergency responders from locating you efficiently in case of an emergency.
