[QUOTE="Maltisau, post: 284528, member: 6761"] I carry a wristwatch. If I get lost I take it off and swing it around over my head really fast and then let it go. The watch has gone west, so I figure out my bearings from there... I am yet to travel into areas that are far removed from civilization. I just have an image of a map in my head and work it out from there. If I get lost I get annoyed because I have to walk further than I'd like. Somehow i figure it out. I have dealt with anxiety and it is not fun. However, I have never felt anxious while doing what I love. I guess I am lucky in that regard. If I was walking through the Simpson Desert I would take a GPS device of some kind. I think in the Vic goldfields I am pretty sure to stumble across civilization before too long. Especially if I have researched the area. When your numbers up ain't nothin yo gonna do about it so I don't worry about the inevitable. I just enjoy myself. [/QUOTE]
