Separation is one of the common occurrences during expeditions. Sometimes it's because of difficult terrain, sometimes it's because of malfunctioning communication equipment, and sometimes it's because of personal negligence. So, what should you do if you get separated during your expedition?Here are some ways to do it.
1.Hold your horses.
After being separated during an expedition, many people become panicked and blindly look for teammates or try to go it alone. However, doing so is not only a waste of physical strength, but can also lead to danger. Therefore, the first thing to do is to stay calm, analyze the current situation and your position, and make a reasonable plan.
2.Take good care of yourself.
During the expedition, always pay attention to your own safety after you get separated. Avoid acting in dangerous terrain or climatic conditions to avoid accidents. At the same time, it is necessary to maintain sufficient physical strength and hydration to avoid excessive physical exertion.
3.Turn on the emergency communication equipment.
During the expedition, it is common to carry emergency communication equipment, such as walkie-talkies, mobile phones, etc. Once you find that you are separated, you should immediately turn on the emergency communication equipment and contact your teammates. If you can't reach your teammates, you can try calling Emergency** or sending a distress message.
4.Look for markers and marks.

During the expedition, it is important to record and mark the time after you get separated. You can mark your location and route of action on the map for subsequent search and search. At the same time, it is also necessary to record information such as contact with teammates and time, so as to facilitate subsequent communication and coordination.
