RE: Lost in the woods
Got lost years ago when I was 14 while hunting with Dad. I was supposed to push through a swamp and them meet up with my uncles on the other side. I slid past the edge and went over a hill, then started downhill. I missed the meeting place and walked for 6 hours before coming out to a road. I was scared and from that time on always carried a compass. Today in addition to 2 compasses I carry a GPS loaded with topo maps.
