What should you do if you become lost in the wilderness?

Keep moving and try to find your way out
Wait in a safe place for help to find you
Follow a river downstream
Start signaling immediately with smoke signals

The correct answer is: Wait in a safe place for help to find you

If you become lost in the wilderness, the best course of action is not to keep moving, as this can lead you further away from potential rescue locations. Following a river downstream is also not recommended, as it can be dangerous and lead you deeper into unknown territory. Starting to signal immediately with smoke signals may not be effective if it is not visible to potential rescuers or if they are not actively searching for you. Waiting in a safe place for help to find you increases the likelihood of being found by search and rescue teams, as they will typically follow established methods to locate missing individuals. It also conserves your energy and resources for when help does arrive.
