The body’s temperature can be reduced by convection (or loss of heat caused by wind blowing on exposed parts). If you’re camping in winter be sure to cover yourself as well as you can, minimizing exposure, especially in a hot, humid climate. Both are equally bad. You can follow a creek or a river. Avoid following a river and you’ll more likely to be found by staying where you are. Keep hydrated and make noise to draw interest. Shout or yell. Blower them for an aid to flotation. Make them a signaling device. Camping trips are made much easier thanks to plastic bags.
