Headed downhill into a ravine might make sense if you're looking for water (water flows down, after all).

I'm mildly amused that we have trained ourselves into anti-survival behaviors- head uphill where there is less water, more exposure to elements, etc. (of course, being uphill might make you more visible, but that's assuming anyone is coming anytime immediately soon)

Depends entirely on the situation. If a ten minute hike uphill gives you the ability to make a phone call, it's a pretty reasonable first step.
