Wilderness Survival Tip: Smoke Signals


If you’re lost in the wilderness, one course of action to call out for help is to build a signal fire or smoke signal, but most people don’t know how to do this.


Here's what to do:


- Start off with a small fire using conventional fire starting methods.

- Once it starts burning hot, cover the fire densely with coniferous (evergreen) branches.

- The oils and resins in the living evergreens create dense, white smoke that’s visible for miles.
