Check for response. Shout clearly and shake shoulders firmly.

Place the arm nearest to you at a right angle, palm facing upwards.
Bring the far arm across their chest, holding the back of their hand against their cheek.
Pull the far knee up until the foot is flat on the floor, and roll them onto their side toward you.
Check for hidden wounds, controlled bleeding, or physical signs of shock (pale, cold, clammy skin).
Assess alertness level. Are they confused? Look out for slurred speech, orientation issues, or dizziness.
Protect them from weather elements or cold ground. Treat localized camp injuries (burns, sprains, or scale-down checks).
