Staying Warm in the Woods

If you ever get lost while hiking, here's an essential survival guide tip: Stay warm. Hypothermia is deadly. Get out of any wet clothes you are wearing. If you have no dry clothing, get into your sleeping bag. Or, fill a trashbag with leaves and wear it like a jacket: Cut a hole in the bottom of the bag for your head, and two for your arms, stuff the trash bag with leaves, then tuck the bottom into your pants.
