Anybody that fools around in the woods needs to learn how to read a compass at least.i spent a night and almost another in the altamaha river swamp when I was 15 years old.got turned around squirrel hunting which was 1977.i just sit on a sandbar and waited for someone to come down the river after I walked in the wrong direction about 12 hours.the guy that found called the sheriff and they picked me up and took me back to camp.

did alot of orienteering back in the late 60's early 70's.
fun stuff especially when you dumped off in the middle of nowhere at night.

My buddy and I did the same thing when we were 16. He just got his drivers license and we went squirrel hunting in piedmont. We got lost and were gone for 15 hours. We just followed a creek bed until we hit a dirt road and made the right guess in which direction to walk. We eventually made it back to our truck...I think about that day often. Its a crazy butterfly effect from that day that still has an impact on my buddy.

Its an insanely important skill to have. Good on the OP!

This guy has a ton of great videos on the topic, but nothing beats doing it for real.

Yep- what Rolling_trip said. Just taught my kids (18 & 17) a month ago. Day on the farm with compass and map. No phones.

My daughter no longer requires GPS for every trip, said she felt empowered!

thank you.

thank you.

You have to go out and practice, once you get the tools and map reading figured out. Nothing quite like being in the middle of the woods stopping and going “I am on the right hill top? Crap, was my pace count 150 or 250??”

Lol
