[QUOTE="G0lddigg@, post: 54228, member: 357"] hey Wolfau I grew up in the bush I don't really tend to get lost as I have developed a few habits over the years, (not to say that I couldn't) for me a combination of dragging a foot when there's an opportunity to drawer a line, I like to brake branches at head height on my right on the way in. additionally I stop and take bearings whenever the landscape changes significantly but probably my favorite is to stack rocks. same as with the branch the rocks are stacked on the right side going in in top of each other at any junction. this is easy in the GT due to quartz being just about bloody everywhere. A line of rocks like you would see around half of a campfire means beware in the arc direction. aside from that I don't think its rocket science these days to take stock of where you are and where your going. Like Wal said above dragging a chain will certainly increase your changes of finding your trail if you lose it. Commonsense really take a phone, get a phone with GPS and use topo maps [/QUOTE]
