You went hiking with some friends, took off on your own for a while, and got lost.
You've wandered around all day looking for your friends, but you can't find them anywhere.
What is the first thing you do? Have you brought food, water, and maps along, or are you the freewheeling type who just comes as you are? What thoughts are going through your head? How do you feel? Write about the situation.
The first thing I would do is try to make a fire because I have no clue how long I am going to be out there and maybe someone would see it. I would also try my cell phone, but most likely there will not be any service. Another I would do is possibly start to make a shelter in case I am there all night.
Yes I have brought food, water, and maps along, but there are with my friends. So unfortunately I have nothing to eat or drink, also nothing to look at to see which way to go. I guess I will have to go searching for food and water. Maybe I could find something to make a compass with because I think I may remember which way to go.
I am so stupid for going off on my own, especially with no maps, food or water. Also I have no way of communicating with anyone. I really wish I could find my friends. Such and idiot. I wonder if my friends are looking for me? I'd sure hope so because maybe THEY can find ME. I am starving! If only I had something to snack on. I might as well go look for some hing to munch on while I am not doing anything.
I feel sick to my stomach. No food, no shelter, no friends or family, and also nothing to find m way home. I also feel like and idiot like seriously, who goes off on there own with not a thing to spare and gets lost. A miracle would be amazing at the moment. Come on ! Find me please. I should be looking for you guys but I looked all day since I left them. If they are not looking for me, they sure aren't good friends. I could be getting eaten by a bear while there are all at home in there nice, cozy beds. Some friends I have. I am sort of scared right now; it's really dark and I hear ruffling in the trees and I have no weapons in case whatever it is tries to attack me.
I would just like to say, if I ever go on a hiking trip I will NOT leave my friends, and I will not one of my friends leave the group on it's own. I NEVER want to be in this kind of situation. I would be scared and probably frustrated. I will also make sure to bring enough of everything for everyone; and possibly a couple of maps, just in case. That is my advice to you. When you are hiking, never go off on your own.
