It's highly likely that if you're in a crisis or survival situation, you will need help or medical assistance of some kind and very quickly. But what if that help is delayed due to your location's proximity, thus affecting your phone's signal? Would you know what to do? Do you have a backup plan? 

Most of us carry mobile phones, and with that, the technology capabilities are vastly improving. Plus, if you are going on long journeys, you will likely own an emergency power supply such as a power bank together with a portable solar panel for an endless energy supply, so there's an increased chance of reaching help should you need it, but again, WHAT IF?

WHAT IF these fail too? Would you know what to do? You may have heard the expression "don't put all your eggs in one basket", a well-known saying cautioning against focusing all of your resources, assets, and energies on one project. You run the danger of losing everything if just one thing goes wrong.

I have always loved this phrase, along with "Hindsight is a wonderful thing", but in a survival situation, this can be your undoing. I am a believer of learning many different ways to achieve the same result.

In this section, I am going to teach you many different ways listed below to summon help in a fun but useful way. We learn best through play, and I hope that you can play these games with a like-minded friend or family member so that one day, it will be second nature when you need it.
