A): Wait to hear the rescue chopper BEFORE you fire off the para-
flare and let THEM fight the fire.
B): Dig down, dig fast!
C): Tell rescuers the forest was like this when you got here (and get
a lawyer).
D): Start hobbling!
Important Survival Tip: Unless you like to spend a lot of time alone
in the woods, NEVER, EVER fire a flare at a search plane.
