The number one killer in #survival situations, other than acute or catastrophic #injury (which is almost never caused by #wildlife encounters, btw), is NOT #starvation or #dehydration, it's #hypothermia (or #hyperthermia, in hot climates).

The most common types of injuries in #wilderness survival situations are falls of some sort. This is why the acronym STOP exists: Sit, Think, Observe, Plan.

If you do not already know what you are doing, attempting #SelfRescue can be extremely risky.
