I wouldn’t call them “common-sense”. When a modern-day tragedy (death of a child) is required before “hug a tree and survive” becomes a slogan, it seems safe to say that they are counter-intuitive.
If humans did the right thing by default (e.g. “If you are lost, ‘Hug-A-Tree’ and stay put.”), there would be fewer sad stories.
