Everyone who spends time in the outdoors will lose their way at some point. According to the Government of Canada, search and rescue personnel provide assistance to more than 20,000 people in Canada each year. 

In this episode of Catch Me Outside, a listener tells his story of getting lost in Killarney Provincial Park after dark, and then Tom Girrior of Yellowknife Search and Rescue shares some insights into lost person behaviour as well as some advice that should help outdoor adventurers avoid getting lost, or at least improve their odds of being found. Tom has worked in the industry for 15 years and, as training director for Yellowknife SAR, has trained countless SAR volunteers.
