In Bashkiria, man got lost in dark forest

In the Gafuriysky District, a man got lost in the forest. The incident was reported to the 112 emergency call center yesterday evening. The situation ended happily: the man managed to find his own way out. He did not require medical attention, according to the press service of the State Committee of the Republic of Bashkortostan for Emergency Situations.

Rescuers remind the public that it is easy to lose one's way, even in a familiar forest. When heading out—whether to pick mushrooms or simply for a walk—it is important to carry a fully charged mobile phone, inform loved ones of your planned route and expected return time, wear brightly colored clothing, take note of landmarks (such as roads, power lines, or streams), and avoid venturing too far into unfamiliar territory. If you become lost, call 112 and stay where you are; do not attempt to find your way out on your own.
