Signal for Rescue

Join XSA International instructor Doc Stoehner as he teaches you the basic things you need to plan for in a survival scenario that will help to bring you out alive. Remember that a Positive Mental Attitude is the most important thing to be armed with, beyond that your ability to make a shelter, build a fire, find food, purify water, and signal your rescuers is paramount to ensuring your well being.

Having the ability to signal your rescuers, or to signal for help can make the difference between getting out alive, or meeting an unnecessary demise in the wild. Especially if you are injured, signaling allows people to locate you and provide assistance to you. Many options exist for signaling and a few are pyrotechnic devices, signal panels/mirrors, and radios. It is important to devise a signal rescue plan and to leave it with people that can act on it in the event you don't show back up when you are supposed to.
