There is no greater solitude than that of the Tracker in the forest, unless perhaps it's that of the wolf in the wilderness.
2. Determine your location as best as possible.

Your priorities are shelter, fire, water in that order. Food is not a priority for a long time.
And how stands the city on this winter night? More prosperous, more secure, and happier than it was eight years ago. But more than that; after two hundred years, two centuries, she still stands strong and true on the granite ridge, and her glow has held steady no matter what storm.....Ronald Reagan Farewell Address 1/11/89
Now Here was a President that appealed to the best in us all. Damn I miss him.
When venturing into the wilderness either alone, or with a group make sure that a responsible person knows exactly where you are going and exactly when you will return, with instructions to get help if you don't.
I was going to say "Don’t eat yellow snow" but I guess that’s already covered in the Don't drink urine post" and Beo did say keep it serious...although I think it is a serious…Oh never mind.
#8 Take care of your feet. You'll probably need em.
Quality good fitting shoes/Boots, keep feet Dry, treat problems fast, and for your own sake(not to mention how disgusting it looks) keep your toe nails trimmed people!
Have to disagree with you glocker. Not necessarily in that order. Depends on the circumstance. Your could have great shelter, can easily make fire and have no access to water. You list is correct minus the "in that order".
Always carry a topo and/or satellite map of the area.

Only 101 Beo? I think my list is longer than that.
Remeber your brain is the most important tool you have. And that if even you have nothing you can use your brain to create everything needed to survive.
I'm lumping these altogether as they fit like pieces in a puzzle:
Be Prepared as Chance favors the prepared mind especially when you Adapt, Overcome, & Improvise! Hooyah! & Semper Fi!

Be creative. Try to think of every way you can use the items you have. Virtually every item has several uses.
The mind is a space with no clear or discernible goals, where the Id, Ego, and Anima come together to exchange cookie recipes.
Remember this ancronym: S.T.O.P!
S.= Sit.
T.= Think.
O.= Organize.
P.= Plan.
This is fun!

Your clothing is your first and finest shelter so dress for the worst conditions your area can dish out in that season. If you can't stop and rest in your clothes/rain gear then you are underdressed. Mac

if you have water go ahead and drink it. it wont do you any good in the bottle

He attacked everything in life with a mix of extraordinary genius and naive incompetence, and it was often difficult to tell which was which. Douglas Adams
