[QUOTE="user 14798, post: 481536, member: 14798"] I went detecting in Durikai State Forest. Parked the car at the fringe of the dirt road and in the scrub I went. After I had enough of the area about an hour later I knew where the road was. But when I got out of the scrub, I could not believe, I saw my car on the right hand side of me, about 50m away. I could have sworn I'd find it on the left hand side of where I was. One really can get lost so easily! I always carry my eTrex and mark the position of the car. Then turn it off to save the batteries. I can turn it back on when I'm lost. Didn't luckily happen so far. And I carry a 2ltr camel bag filled with water over the harness. And a PLB. Sometimes I take the bandage, mostly I forget.... [/QUOTE]
