Going across obstacles instead of around them to save time
From BearWiki
Claim: Bear's love of going through obstacles rather than around them is contradictory to wilderness survival.
The facts are simple: if you have water, shelter, and health, even without food, you can live for a month. If you suffer a fatal injury, you're dead. If you suffer an injury that knocks you unconscious, you're likely to die. If you suffer an injury that gets infected and needs antibiotics, you have a few days to live. If you suffer an injury that effects your ability to move, your entire survival is in jeopardy.
Your near-universally recommended best advice is to wait for rescue. If you are moving about, one should never rush things by pursuing risky behavior unless there is an immediate threat to life, because going through obstacles, not around them, is a very serious, very immediate, and very likely threat to life.
