Preventive steps

• Leave a message with your planned route and when you think you'll be back.

• Always bring a compass and a map with you.

• Make sure that your clothes will manage rain and cold weather, and don't forget to have an extra pair of clothes with you.

• First aid kit.

• Emergency food, bring one day extra food with you.

• "Good to have kit" - match or lighter, knife, cord.

Accident

• Try to rescue everyone.

• Give first aid.

• Take care of smaller injuries.

Clamour

• Smoke signs from the fire.

• Signs on the ground which could be recognised from air.

• Emergency rocket.

• Mobile phone. If it works!

• There's always a possibility, depending on the weather and how many you are in the group, to walk to nearest cottage or village to get help.

Steps to do until help arrives

• Make a shield that protects you from rain and wind.

• Try to make a fire. It's important to keep warm.

• Water. You'll need about 2-3 liters of liquid per day.
