Boar is right. Just this last year a friend of mine became lost and I had to call the police and search and rescue to find him. It was winter, up high, heavy frosts and probably hovering a couple of degrees either side of freezing through the day.Luckily it didnt rain until the second night... There was very little wind which was very lucky also.
The only things that really mattered in this situation were his clothing, and starting a fire. Sadly he had no lighter or matches ! And the bush was dry as a bone the first night. I wasnt even too worried about him, thinking that he would make a great big blaze and be warmer than I was... Ironically he saw a ton of deer....all after he had fired his eight rounds of ammo away signalling...they found him after two days and nights. He said some of things that went on were between him and god.
