what are the first three priorities if you become lost?

The first three priorities if you become lost are: shelter, fire, and signaling for help. Shelter is crucial to protect yourself from the elements and conserve energy. Fire provides warmth, helps with drying clothes, and can be used as a signal to rescuers. Signaling involves making yourself visible to potential rescuers through visual markers, smoke, or sound signals like whistles. After ensuring these, you should then focus on finding water and food. Maintaining a calm and positive mental attitude is also important as it helps with clear decision-making in survival situations.
