What action is recommended when lost or disoriented in the field?

Continue moving, hoping to find your way.
Use your firearm to signal for help.
Stay put and make yourself visible and audible to rescuers.
Try to find your way back during the night.

The correct answer is: Stay put and make yourself visible and audible to rescuers.

When lost or disoriented in the field, the recommended action is to stay put and make yourself visible and audible to rescuers. This is important as wandering off can lead to further confusion and make it more difficult for rescuers to locate you. By staying put and making yourself visible and audible, you increase the chances of being found quickly and safely. This is a crucial safety measure to ensure your well-being in a potentially dangerous situation. Option A is not recommended as moving around when lost can increase the chances of getting even more lost or further away from potential rescue. Option B is unsafe as using your firearm to signal for help can be dangerous and should only be done as a last resort in extreme emergency situations. Option D is not recommended as trying to find your way back during the night can increase the risks of accidents or getting even more lost in the darkness.
