You are lost on a hike in a burning hot desert. Your best plan is to:

• Dig a hole to find cooler grounds to lie in.

• Remain in the shade, take off your clothes, breathe through your mouth

• Stay active so perspiration will cool you.

• Remain in the shade, moving as little as possible.

You know if you walked west, you would find a highway, but you haven't got a compass. To find your way, you utilize the knowledge that:

• Moss grows on the north side of the trees

• The sun rises in the east

• The tops of tall trees point east

• Clouds tend to move west to east
