since the navigation is up to dad i have never been lost...and we really never been lost together...really mixed up in direction...but we found the truck...a few times coon hunting the tracking collars had magnets and wehn my dad would take them out to basically turn the collar on hed take the magnet by his compass and ruined a few and we spent a long while in the woods a few times...just keep hunting until we found a road...never hunted really big land running dogs because that isnt good for them when they can run for miles...i think having atleast a knife and matches and a lighter is smart...
