- What should I do if I get lost while hiking

Sure! Here are three different responses:

"First off, don’t panic! Take a deep breath and try to retrace your steps. Look for familiar landmarks or signs. If you have a map or GPS, use that to figure out where you are. If things get really sketchy, it’s best to stay put and wait for help, especially if it’s getting dark."

"If you find yourself lost while hiking, just chill for a sec. Stop and think about where you last saw a trail marker or something familiar. If you’ve got a buddy with you, stick together and talk it out. And if you can’t figure it out, don’t hesitate to call for help or use a whistle if you have one!"
