I had an ATV accident about five years ago when the quad flipped while I was going down a hill, leaving us both at the bottom with me pinned underneath it. The quad had landed on its side, with the footboard lying across my mid-to-upper back, making it extremely difficult to breathe. I couldn’t push it off myself or slide out from underneath it. I started calling for help in sets of three, taking breaks in between to catch my breath as best I could.
Thankfully, an older gentleman heard me. At first, he thought it was children playing in the distance, but he eventually came looking and found me. He even tried to push the quad off me himself before going to get additional help.
Fortunately, I walked away with only internal bruising and a pretty severe concussion. It could have been so much worse, and I’m incredibly grateful he took the time to investigate!

Then there's the 3,3,3, rule for radios. On the 3, 6, 9, or 12th hours you turn your radio to channel 3 for 3 minutes. Saves you battery and everyone else knows to check at those times too. Means you'll actually have a better chance of reaching someone whether you're the lost person or the one looking for the lost person.

Only most people will see three fires and believe there are more than one person so you don’t need help. Life.
