RON away from camp, lean against rock or tree. Clear combustibles 10 feet in all directions. Insulate your butt from the ground. Put on liner and poncho. Make small fire in Dakota fire pit or place candle lantern on stick across a small hole. Heat rises inside poncho. The Hilton it aint but it keeps you alive.
NB when you think that you are lost, sit down, think it over, check map, drink water, eat if hungry. Relax. If it is late afternoon plan to spend the night in that area.
Vlad excellent advice!
