So it comes down to hiding, I think it's not a good idea to hide anywhere in the forest, neither on a top of a tree which is easily visible. We should move forward to the stream, and also since we have backup food supply it's not a good idea to risk searching for other food items. I think option 2 is the best move to hide in creek bed, but I will go with you @deepapoudel.

What do you think??, for me option 2 is the best, anyway I would go with your decision !!

option 2 for us, until Deepa changes the decision
