Title: Survival Dispatch Insider Vol. 2 Issue 6: Lost in the Woods

Every year people who packed the right gear walk off a trail and do not come back. Issue 6 of Volume 2 is 77 pages on not being one of them, and on getting found if you are.

Inside: who gets lost, when, why, and who gets found; what to do before you go, from choosing dates to setting alerts to sticking to the plan; the first minutes after you realize you are lost, and why you stop walking; being seen, with contrast, color and movement; using a signal mirror, including a makeshift one; building a signal fire; universal ground signals and what air rescuers can and cannot see; radio in the woods, marine and aircraft bands, GMRS and GPS; building a buzz saw and a debris hut; a wilderness survival kit and its container; land navigation with map and compass, and with map only; watches, handheld GPS units and personal locator beacons compared; blazing a trail so you can be tracked; and setting up your cell phone for hiking, with emergency SOS, medical information and the light.
