Real-Life Decision Making -- Solution
You decide to go after them.
You head off into the bush alone to look for the hunters. You search for what seems like hours with no results. Although you know the area like the back of your hand, you have never been this far in the dark. Before long you get disoriented and start to lose your way.
Now all three of you are lost and, as a consequence, you have put the remaining hunters in your camp at risk. You are the only guide, and if you die they will be left to fend for themselves.
You stay where you are for a few minutes and try to calm down. Soon you realize that you made a wrong turn. No big deal, you tell yourself. With calm assurance you make your way back to camp.
You haven't got any farther with your search and by leaving the campsite at night you've put your hunters at risk.
Outfitter Sven-Erik Jansson says this decision is an example of what not to do in this situation.
"When people are lost, logic goes out the window. Try not to panic. Don't run around in the dark. It's fruitless. You can't see their tracks and you can't see them. I think other guides would agree."
