Add a bit of bad weather and or darkness and the best sense of direction can go out the window. A compass and/or GPS is a good thing to have. I have a funny and embarrassing story...big snow storm in NY state. My buddy heads off and I do too...an hour later as I’m trudging thru the snow I hear someone whistle and it’s my buddy asking me what I was doing...shamefully I looked up and said “I’m lost!” and we both burst into laughter because it was pretty damn funny. The property wasn’t big but everything looked different in the dark and with the snow. Too funny...ended well and I’m still living it down. BTW...I’m a person that says “I have a great sense of direction.” My buddy disagrees...
