survival guide notes Jordan Berman Lal6/ 2/3 Mrs. Fleming/ Mrs.Stard February 24, 2011

[|**http://www.adventuresportsonline.com/survival.htm**] [] Lake Superior is the world's largest freshwater lake - a huge, rock-bound lake that in winter is capable of piling ice high against the shore, and producing ocean sized currents and waves. Waves as large as 31 feet have been recorded, and Lake Superior is the grave of more than 325 ships. [] Last time Superior froze over was 2009 and 1997. In 2003 the lake almost froze over again, except the western areas along the Minnesota shoreline. Superior is being effected by a drought, lack of normal snow and rainfall accumulations the past four years. This has caused Lake Superior to reach low water levels not seen in recent decades. Weather and climate is moderated by Lake Superior, winter is warmer and summers are cooler. Most of Lake Superior shipwrecks occurred during fall storms called "northeasters." These storms build when low pressure systems pass over the lake. Moose don’t like humans.
 * SIT: ** When you realize that you are lost take the time to sit down and collect your thoughts. You are not lost, you are right where you are, your camp, vehicle and everyone else is lost.
 * THINK: ** What do I have at my disposal both physical and mental that can help me in this situation. Take an inventory of your survival kit items and how you will use them. Take an inventory of your mind, remember what you always thought you would do if you got lost. Most of all remain positive, you will survive.
 * OBSERVE: ** Look around, is there shelter, water, high ground, an open area so the searchers can see you. It will be easier for those searching to find you if you can stay in one selected location that will allow you to build a fire, provide shelter, set out signals and be in an area that can be seen at a distance or from aircraft.
 * PLAN: ** Now create your plan of action. Be positive and take care of yourself. If it is late in the day, build a fire for heat and signaling, find or make a shelter against the weather, and most of all remain positive, you do have the ability to survive. You have conquered the major danger of not allowing panic to cast your fate, you can now conquer anything else that confronts you.
