That’s usually good advice but that also doesn’t always work. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/us-news/201...

She was 30 minutes away from a road and survived for 26 days but decided to stay put and wait for people to find her.

Yet according to her diary she'd been wandering for two days prior before deciding to stop. The trick is to stop as soon as you realise you're lost.

In the first instance, it gives you time to overcome panic.
