What is the first thing a hunter should do if they become lost?

Start running in any direction to find help
Panic and shout for help
Stay put and make a shelter
Immediately attempt to catch food

The correct answer is: Stay put and make a shelter

If a hunter becomes lost, their immediate instinct might be to start running in any direction to find help. However, this is not a good idea as it can lead the hunter further away and make it harder for them to be found. Similarly, panicking and shouting for help can waste energy and potentially scare away any nearby animals or help. Attempting to catch food should also not be the first priority as it can be dangerous and distract from the task of finding help. The best course of action for a lost hunter is to stay put and make a shelter. This increases the chances of being found by search parties and allows for a place to rest and stay safe until help arrives.
