Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
If I were really, really lost ... I do not mean lost in a small forest that I can just walk few hours to get to a road.
I would make a bow drill fire, prepare a ton of smoking material ( pine needle, green vegetation ) and just wait for rescue team to get me. As soon a I hear a helicopter or team on the ground, I make ... a hurricane of smoke.
If I been there for weeks and am about to die, i will not hesitate to set the forest on fire so the team get to me, my life is more important than the forest. ( those who know me know I am the biggest lover of forest, and never cut a tree except I really have to do so )
forget about the bear grylls stuff bro, just wait for the rescue team if you are ... lost in the middle of jurrasik park.

You are ridiculous lol.
A small forest fire will catch attention ... lol. You a piece of sand on a beach, you want to be seen what you do tell me ? I watch survival stuff about people getting lost and not getting rescued for untill week 2 or 3 even more. Very often, an helicopter fly in circle over them, without seeing them. If I were dying, I WANT THEM TO SEE ME.
Get to a safe place, make a small forest fire ( here in quebec you cannot be HUGE MEGA forest fire, it will stop very soon it is just too humid ) I am not living in the freaking dry place of Arizona, inform yourself before saying im an idiot.
Thanks sir, for your important input, as you seem to have your opinion on anything

Setting fire to a forest as you so aptly put it not only endangers yourself but all the civilisation and wildlife around you. You had the right idea in your first post; create smoke fires

After 3 weeks in the forest, if i'm dying, I honestly could not care less about the worms and spider. ( I have been studying spider and insect for 10 years, I am extremely fascinated by them ) but they are less important than my life.
Also, You do not set fire in the middle of a long grass field and stay in the middle ... c'mon. I did'nt think I had to explain all these.
you guy's seems to think that I would set the entire Quebec on fire if i'm lost for 2 hours ...
This is something that worked for 2 person lost for 2 or 3 weeks, at the end they set a part of 10 meters by 10 meters on fire, and they immediately been seen.
I should have listen my instinct and not reply this thread
i'm off.

Boring....
You don't know me any more than I know you, the point is those who live every day in the wilderness your playing in would not think YOUR life is more important than theirs -
maybe i'm wrong and its just a language thing but I'd suggest a little quiet reflection before you post inflammitory comments especially in the light of recent devistating wildfires that some of our members have had to suffer

I understand your point bro and sorry for the bad comment, i'm not on a good day, its nothing personal and you do not have to pay for that.
That said, you will not get a huge fire in Quebec like you would do in those dry area. And honestly, I will always do anything to stay alive, anything. If I have to burn about 50 tree to do so, I will for sure. Some people cut more trees than that everyday, I cutted a single living tree in the last 2 years, and used every single part of that tree to make a fantastic bow.
I never hunted or killed an animal neither, in my entire life ...
I would also like to add, please do not think I would set the forest on fire if I had other option ... Keep in mind that this is the LAST option, at the very end, and in my opinion a good one for my region.
I do not believe there's anything to add I understand your point tought.
