Introduction
This situation could come about in many different ways, but for this situation I was hiking the Appalachian Trail and got off the trial and got lost. I have no cell service but I do have a backpack full of supplies to help me. Those supplies are a knife, rope, a fire stater, and a fishing rod that I was carrying with me. I will only be able to rely on these tools and my knowledge to help me survive this situation. Thankfully, it's summer time so the winter elements won't be a factor in this situation.
