nal smoke during daylight hours, signal flares, and a prominent wing display are effective methods. 

Search and rescue squads (SAR) are particularly tuned to signals of threes. Hence, three fires arranged in a triangle, three bangs against a log, or three flashes of a mirror—all of these will initiate a rapid response by search and rescue. 

The aviation transceiver can be tuned to broadcast and receive on the emergency frequency 121.5 MHz or any other usable frequency that will elicit a response. 

The wing can be employed to lay out a prominent marker to aid recognition from the air by other air- craft. The wing can also be used as an effective layered garment when wrapped around the body to conserve body heat or to provide relief from excessive sunlight.
