Another way to attract attention is by using fires. At night the light from your campfire will draw attention. In the daytime your fire is a good signal as well. By adding oil, cedar boughs or other things to a burning fire you will change the color of its smoke. Remember, three fires spaced in a triangle shape, is the international signal for help. It means you cannot move on, or, in other words you need assistance. Do not let your fire get out of control. A forest fire is dangerous and greatly reduces your chances to survive.
