Stop and assess distance. Do not run from large mammals. Back away slowly while facing the animal. Store food in sealed containers. Report aggressive behaviour to local land managers when safe to do so.

Move immediately to higher ground if water rises or colour changes. Avoid narrow gullies and stream crossings. Wait for flow to subside before attempting return—often several hours.

Stop, mark your position, and check map orientation against visible landmarks. Retrace to the last known point if visibility allows. Conserve device battery; share location only when needed.

Add dry insulation layers, seek wind shelter, and consume warm fluids if available. Replace wet gloves and socks when possible. Monitor for confusion or uncontrolled shivering—seek help if symptoms persist.
