If you're lost in the woods and need help, do you know which signaling skills to use? There are a variety of types and methods, but you must remember that the signal you use will depend largely on your environment, the weather, your surroundings and whether or not you are in danger. For example, if you are trying to hide from a person or individuals, the last thing you want to do is set off a signal identifying where you are. That would defeat the purpose of hiding entirely. But if you were in a situation that required locating emergency personnel or people who may be looking for you, it is essential to refresh your skills and possibly learn new techniques. Remember, if a crew is flying over a forest, covered with thick brush and trees at who knows how many hundred feet in the air, being able to spot you on the ground could be like asking them to find a needle in a haystack.
