If a companion is seriously hurt:

Perform basic first-aid
provide shelter for the victim
Send someone for help
If you're alone, shout, blow a whistle or build a smoky fire

If you lose the trail or become confused about your location:

Retrace your steps to the last known point
Orient your map with your compass and try to identify landmarks
If you feel thoroughly lost, stay in one place and make yourself visible and audible to searchers
