5. Don't yell, don't run, don't worry, and DON'T QUIT. 



6. A word from the forest ranger to the new camper, hiker, or vacationist: 



It is better to carry a clear head on your shoulders than a big pack on your back; 

 yet in going alone into the mountains it is well to go prepared for any emergency. A fish- 

 line and a few hooks, matches in a waterproof box, a compass, a little concentrated food, 

 and a strong knife should always be carried. A gun may help as a signal, seldom for obtain- 

 ing food. Above all, keep cool, and the chances are you will come out of the woods on your 

 own feet. 



Three quickly repeated and evenly spaced sounds or signals are a standard distress 

 call on land. Signals may be of any kind, audible or visible — calls, whistles, gunshots, 

 flashes from searchlights or mirrors, smoke signals, waves of the arms, a piece of clothing 

 or firebrand, or three small fires evenly spaced. The repetition in threes and the even 

 spacing distinguishes the distress call.
