[QUOTE="Twapster, post: 55959, member: 1582"] I can say that getting lost is an easy task....its very easy to become lost. That paradigm shift comes with experience in most cases....us city folk are so used to maps and gadgets that we don't even consider marking spots, looking at the sun etc because our GPS or map or compass will show me the way out. Take all those gadgets away now...ur only a beginner. U've been in the bush many times. Trust me if you walk far enough....if ur a bloke that ventures more than a few hundred metres from the car.....take every precaution to understand which way you are facing, which way the sun is pointed, marking a spot or dropping an object. One of my last trips I turned 360 degrees and all the canopy was the same. Lucky I hadn't wandered too far to loose the car and found it. but could have been easily a different storey. GPS is a must guys, if you go deep! [/QUOTE]
