What should I do if I get lost while hiking

Sure! Here are three different responses for you:

"First off, don’t panic! Take a deep breath and try to remember the last landmark you saw. If you have a map or GPS, use that to get your bearings. If you’re really lost, it’s usually best to stay put and wait for help. It’s easier for someone to find you if you’re not wandering around."

"Okay, if you find yourself lost while hiking, stop and chill for a sec. Look around and see if you can spot any familiar trails or signs. If you’ve got a phone, try to get a signal or use a map app. If all else fails, just stay put and make yourself visible; someone will come looking for you eventually."
