Return to article: How to Ensure the Survival of a Young Child Lost in the Wilderness
on 12/4/2007 I love this article. Such great ideas. I live in the deep woods and just the other day a 12 yr old came to my home crying so hard he couldn't speak. Being that he had a rifle I was scared to death that he may have shot someone/something... but he was lost, just 15 minutes shy of pitch black night. His Dad left him to PUSH DEER by himself where he wasn't familiar, no compass and no radio. Dad left in a truck! We found Dad and we had him near tears!!! So another tip is to be sure your child has a radio and knows how to push the button to talk on it. For a measly $40, it could save your child's life. Another tip: is to be sure your child is okay with tracking type hound dogs in the case a SAR dog comes to their aide. But to stay put, not approach the dog. (there could be wild dogs as well so they aren't to approach the dog)
