Stay Put and Hug a Tree - this same principle also applies when you are traveling in a vehicle!

🚜Stranded or stuck in a truck, car, tractor, snowmobile, ATV, or UTV?🚜

🛑Stay with your vehicle. It can be used as shelter and helps searchers find you.

🏁Each year, people leave vehicles to walk and find that the elements are a stronger force than they expected, with tragic results—often very close to home.

❄️Especially in winter conditions, your vehicle can mean the difference between survival and exposure.

🚨Stay put unless directed otherwise by emergency services.

🦺🔦Help Search and Rescue Volunteer Association of Canada teams across Canada and emergency services locate you by staying put.🍁
