Inside, you'll learn how to: Leave a trip plan that brings help when you need it Stay found with simple habits at junctions, landmarks, and turnaround times Use STOP the moment you realize you're lost Decide whether to stay put or move, and why staying put usually works Signal with a phone, whistle, mirror, light, and ground signals Get through an unplanned night with what's in your day pack Handle separated group members, slow hikers, injuries, darkness, and weather Understand how search and rescue works and help rescuers find you The book ends with a six-outing plan that builds your staying-found skills one step at a time.
