Log onto these forums on my cellphone and post a whiny thread about how I'm stuck in a forest and thirsty.

Good thing I'm not an 8th grader huh?

No water in a creek or stream
Did not tap a tree
Did not dig a hole

Did they remember they had a canteen?

Sometimes roads go into forests, you know.

It was a dirt road used by the workers in the forest.

I was going to say a logging road. always nice to walk along an old road and getting lost.

Look, boys...a road. We're going to follow this road. And this road is going to save us, because all roads eventually lead to a McDonald's.

Puddle? Probably the worst idea... Others have already proposed a bunch of solutions that are much better...

I'd have to be dying before I'd drink from a roadside puddle. Why did you let them do it, and why didn't they have water when going into the woods?

kill animal, drink blood. Barbaric, but if you're thirsty(like a barbarian) then it will do?
