So youtl'e lasts.. Now what do you do? That's a good
question, but most articles on getting lost deal mostly
with what not to do,. Don't panic, don't run, etc., etc.
Once you realizeyeti are lost, however, a whole new
way of thinkingmust come into play.
The baste requirements for man to survive are food,
shelter and clothing. On a sustaining hasis, all of these
are equally important, but if yaurCbeing lost means
spending only ane, or at the most two nights in the
bpsh,,Only one kartlsessential. Shelter! Clothing, you

without for- several days with no ill effects. Without
shelter, you can quickly succumb to the elements if it is
atallcold orwet.
The, most important thing to do if you are lost is to
realize it and accept the fact while it is still light
enough to make the proper preparations. If you con -
tine to stumble around in the bush untilafter dark, it
will be almost impossible td gather enough firewood to
last, through the night or to fashion a simple snug
shelter: Once, you have accepted the fact that you are
lost, however, the proper steps to making your night
more comfortable can be taken. The first step is to
select ati area for your shelter, keeping in mind that
wood and water are two essentials that should not be
Ignored In the north, it generally isnot too difficult to
locate a source of water, even if it means just scrat-
ching a hole in the sphagnum most and waiting for it to
fill up.
Wood also is generally easy to find, especially in a
stand of spruce or pine, but make sure it is not too wet
ortoo large. A.lig lag may look like a lot of wood, but in
the long run you'll be better off with a pile of smaller
branches.
Your shelter need not be large or elaborate, but it
should be snug and dry. On a clear cold night, a bed of
dry leaves Oster up against a rock ledge with a sinall
fire set. out 3 or 4 feetin front may be all you need. On a
wet, drippy night; a rough shelter made from
evergreen boughs snugged up under abig pine or
spruce may be just the ticket. Lean to's with a fire in
front canoe surprisingly warm and comfortable.
When selecting your site, avoid the tops of ridges and
the bottom ofgullies if alai' possible. On ridge tops you
are exposed to chill winds and frost, while in the low
spots, you may be plagued with those penetrating
dewy mists thatoften occur.
If you make a bed to lie on, be sure the leaves you
gather are dry, 9r use the tips,from spruce boughs. The
ones that coir dsilyFbbee broken off, by hand are the best
bet. .A wet bed can get awful uncomfortable by mor-
ning. One last tip. If your clothes are at all wet, get a
fire going and get them dried out before it gets dark.
The temperature can drop dramatically when the sun
goes down, and wet clothing can make for a very un-
comfortable night. Dry socks and boots are especially
important for warm feet.
As I've said before, being lost for a night or two is no
big deal. Just keep your wits about you, and think
about getting that shelter ready. Come morning, you'll
find you have a whole . new outlook on your
predicament, and you'll find you can rationally think
about getting out.
Despite a bit of pressure from the Clinton line, GDCI junior Viking quarterback, John
Thompson, got this pass away in league action here Thursday. The junior Vikes won the
game and remain undefeated in league play. (Photo by Dave Sykes)
