[QUOTE="boobook, post: 395111, member: 1605"] Please Blackwolf....get yourself a GPS and LEARN how to use it. Until you have been "turned around" in the bush you don't realise how easily and quickly it can happen. The worst scenario is in flat scrubby country with no prominent land marks. If you are detecting, then your nose is usually pointing down, there are all sorts of obstacles you are on the lookout for. The last thing you want is "where is that last rock I put a cross on?" It could be 15 metres away, but on the opposite side where you cant see it. Nothing else familiar to identify where you are.....on the way to being lost. A map may not help you there either, you need a compass and reference points to determine and mark your starting point. No use knowing where you are if you don't know where you came from.
