    • Risks of being attacked by bees

    • Risks of drowning

    • Risks of hypothermia

    • Risks of being attacked by wild animals

    Correct Answer
    A. Risks of hypothermia

    When lost in the woods, the worst immediate thing you risk is hypothermia. Being exposed to cold temperatures for an extended period can cause your body temperature to drop dangerously low, leading to hypothermia. This condition can be life-threatening if not treated promptly.

    What's the best thing to do while waiting for rescue? - ProProfs

    What's the best thing to do while waiting for rescue?

    • To look for wood for fire

    • To conserve energy

    • To keep walking

    • To eat as much as you can

    Correct Answer
    A. To conserve energy
    Explanation
    The best thing to do while waiting for rescue is to conserve energy. This is because conserving energy will help to prolong stamina and increase the chances of survival. By minimizing physical exertion and staying still, the body will require less energy and reduce the risk of exhaustion. Additionally, conserving energy can also help to maintain body temperature, as excessive movement can cause sweating and lead to hypothermia in cold environments.

    What's the first thing you do when lost in the woods? - ProProfs

    What's the first thing you do when lost in the woods?

    • You stay calm

    • You call for help

    • You try to retrace your last steps

    • You look for a phone signal

    Correct Answer
    A. You stay calm
    Explanation
    When lost in the woods, staying calm is the first thing you should do. Panicking can cloud your judgment and make it difficult to think clearly. By staying calm, you can assess your situation, think rationally, and make better decisions. It also helps to conserve energy and prevent unnecessary mistakes. Once you are calm, you can then proceed with other necessary actions such as calling for help, retracing your steps, or looking for a phone signal.

    What's the best readily available source of protein in the wild? - ProProfs

    What's the best readily available source of protein in the wild?

    • Insects

    • Bugs

    • Honey

    • Animal poop

    Correct Answer
    A. Insects
    Explanation
    Insects are the best readily available source of protein in the wild. Insects are abundant in many environments and are a rich source of protein, making them an ideal food source for survival situations. They are easily accessible and can be found in various forms, such as beetles, ants, and grasshoppers. Additionally, insects are often high in essential nutrients and can provide a sustainable source of protein in the wild.

    What's the biggest skill you should have when lost in the wild? - ProProfs

    What's the biggest skill you should have when lost in the wild?

    • How to hide from wild animals

    • How to look for food

    • How to start a fire

    • How to create a shelter

    Correct Answer
    A. How to start a fire
    Explanation
    When lost in the wild, knowing how to start a fire is the most important skill to have. Fire provides warmth, protection from wild animals, and can be used to signal for help. It also allows for cooking food, purifying water, and providing light in the dark. Without fire, survival becomes much more difficult and dangerous.

    Where is it not advised to sleep at for the night when lost in the wild? - ProProfs

    Where is it not advised to sleep at for the night when lost in the wild?

    • Near trees

    • At mountain tops

    • Near bodies of quickly moving water

    • Near caves

    Correct Answer
    A. Near bodies of quickly moving water
    Explanation
    Sleeping near bodies of quickly moving water is not advised when lost in the wild because it can be dangerous. The fast-moving water can pose a risk of drowning, especially during the night when visibility is low. Additionally, sleeping near bodies of water can attract insects and other wildlife, increasing the chances of encountering dangerous animals or being bitten by insects. It is generally safer to find a more secure and sheltered location away from bodies of water when lost in the wild.

    How should you travel when lost in the woods? - ProProfs

    How should you travel when lost in the woods?

    • Uphill

    • Downhill

    • Forward

    • Backwards

    Correct Answer
    A. Downhill
    Explanation
    When lost in the woods, it is generally recommended to travel downhill. This is because going downhill can lead to lower elevations where you are more likely to find water sources and potentially civilization. Additionally, traveling downhill can make it easier to navigate and conserve energy compared to going uphill or in other directions.

    How do you avoid hypothermia while lost in the mountains? - ProProfs

    How do you avoid hypothermia while lost in the mountains?

    • Look for a hotter spot

    • Build a shelter

    • Eat more food

    • Put on more clothing to help you stay warm

    Correct Answer
    A. Put on more clothing to help you stay warm
    Explanation
    To avoid hypothermia while lost in the mountains, it is important to put on more clothing to help stay warm. Hypothermia occurs when the body loses heat faster than it can produce, leading to a dangerously low body temperature. By adding more layers of clothing, it helps to insulate the body and retain heat. This can include wearing thermal layers, a hat, gloves, and insulated footwear. It is also crucial to stay dry and avoid sweating, as wet clothing can further accelerate heat loss.
