I'm pretty sure the first thing I would do is seek shelter, if not form the elements but from anything that could do me serious bodily harm. Preferably somewhere I could get a good vantage point to see all around me, like a cave on a hill or even just some sheltered high ground. I'd assess my situation with whatever I have on hand versus what I could conceivably craft from the area around me. Not wanting to risk moving in the dark, I'd stay put until first light, then I'd try to find some form of civilization.
If I'm to transform at daybreak, it might make it easier to fit in with the locals, and easier to move around than it would to retain my original form. I'd just wander around and see who I bump in to or where I end up.
