2. Everyone has been checked for injuries and any needed first aid has been applied. What should be your next step for survival.

Explanation

The correct answer is to start working on a way to shelter you and your friends from the elements. According to the rule of 3s, you can survive for 3 hours without shelter, making it a critical priority in a survival situation. Since you have already checked for injuries and applied first aid, the next step should be to ensure protection from the weather conditions to prevent hypothermia or other risks associated with exposure.

3. You have managed to build a suitable shelter and you have the necessary supplies to sustain you and your friends. A discussion arises between you and your friends as to whether you should stay put or try to hike out.

Explanation

The suggestion to stay put in the camp until help arrives is based on the fact that the person is expected home in 3 days and has left a note about their location. By staying put, they increase the chances of being found by search and rescue teams who will be looking for them based on the note. Hiking out may lead them further away from their expected location and make it more difficult for rescue teams to locate them. Therefore, it is a logical decision to stay in the camp and wait for help to arrive.

Submit

Explanation

Building a large signal fire is a good idea in case you see a passing airplane or helicopter, even if you are not expected for 3 days and do not expect park rangers to come by any time soon. This is because a signal fire can help attract attention and increase the chances of being rescued.

5. Morning comes. Being familiar with the rule of 3s you know that you are going to need water.  You rumble through the rubble and fine a satisfactory container for the water. Since there is a nearby stream you collect water in the container. The stream is a mountain stream so you and your friends take a good drink knowing you are safe from harm. 

Explanation

The statement "Water from mountain streams is always safe to drink" is false. Although mountain streams may appear clean and pure, they can still contain harmful bacteria, parasites, or pollutants that can cause illness if consumed without purification. It is always recommended to purify water from any source, including mountain streams, before drinking to ensure safety.

Explanation

Building a fire, even if it's small, can provide comfort, security, and lift everyone's spirits in a dark and difficult situation. The warmth and light from the fire can create a sense of safety and bring a feeling of togetherness. The act of building a fire can also serve as a distraction and provide a sense of purpose, helping to alleviate depression and bring a sense of hope.
