Each of us undoubtedly, at least once a season, has time to look into the forest to pick berries or just to relax. However, such a walk sometimes can not end in the most pleasant way. For example, if you get lost and you have no food, no knife, and the phone is about to land.

About what you need to take with you to the forest and how to survive, if you were lost on forest paths, specialists of the Ural Regional Search and Rescue Squad.

According to the head of search and rescue unit Evsey Volkov, the forest is not predictable, so even if you are going to nature only for an hour, it is better to prepare in advance for the fact that you will have to stay there for a day or more. It is best to take a backpack to which you must put the following things: a raincoat, mosquito and mite remedy, a map navigator, a first aid kit, six or ten meters of rope, a telephone and a portable battery, a knife, water, a chocolate bar, waterproof matches in the package , dry fuel, in order to quickly light a fire.

"The content of the backpack is the most minimal for survival and affordable for any tourist. It is advisable to take a bright backpack, so you can be noticed, and you do not merge with the forest. The cost of a minimum set for a backpack is from three to five thousand rubles, but most likely you will find the most part at home, "says Evsey Volkov.

If suddenly you get lost in the forest, you need to look for an open area, in any case do not stay in the forest or forest. It is necessary to go out to the clearing, where you can put the word SOS out of branches. Rescuers move by squares, they do not return to the places they passed, so it is always important to stay in one place.

You can drink from a flowing pond. If it is not close, then it is necessary to roll a tubule from a mug or plantain and collect dew in it. You can feed yourself on pine bark, you need to tear it and cut it with a knife.

At night, the search for people, as a rule, stops. If you have not found you in the evening, then start preparing for a night's lodging. To do this, you need to find a safe place, preferably without trees around, dig a hole and build a fire. Best in our locality burns birch bark. Fire is better to kindle with small and dry twigs, then add large. Here you will need a hunting match.

If there are no matches with you, you can, of course, be friction, but this is a rather laborious and long process. It's easier to find a dry place, climb a tree and spend the night there. On the glades, the fences are made and quarter poles are put, in our forests they are almost always. A post with numbers, where the greatest number is in the direction of the south, the smallest - in the direction of the north. If you are lost in the taiga, then the fire will be different, you need to knock down a big crack. Fire drives away all wild animals.

"Last year a group of children from Moscow came to the taiga to explore nature. Two girls fought back and lived alone in the forest for a week. They built a piece of wood on the trees. The girls were lucky that they were prepared, because they were engaged in a certain circle and knew how to survive. Despite the young age, young naturalists were able to remain alone with the taiga for a whole week, they were ten and thirteen years old. After such cases, everyone should think whether he knows the security measures, "advises the first-class rescuer Valeev Ruslan.

In order to avoid overcooling during the rain, a person must spread the branches on a large tree trunk and wait for him there. Also for this case to carry in your backpack polyethylene two on two meters, it is always useful, it can be imposed between two trees and to take cover there. If you do not have time to hide from the rain, then there are risks of disease, energy loss.

Dressing in the woods is completely closed: jacket, high boots. In the Urals, there are many snakes that can be attacked.

It is advisable to take a warm spare windbreaker. Wear bright, not camouflage clothing. If you went with children, there must be visual control. It is necessary to explain to the child that he always stayed where he started to shout or beat with a stick on the tree.

Previously, the Ministry of Emergency Situations told how to survive the heat and from what foods should be abandoned at this time, as well as how to behave properly on the water and in the forest.
