[QUOTE="AtomRat, post: 157389, member: 3111"] Basically it is a hard one to get lost, panic is the biggest worry causing exhaustion and loss of sense of direction can happen very quickly. Ive only had it once, no gps, no phone signal, no water or bag. When I noticed I had no reception to contact anyone or use gps, the area began to look the same everywhere. The sun direction helped me with exiting the dense bush and hills this day as I pushed back through the bush heading north, not the same way I came in. Eventually made it to a road with relief which I walked for 40mins to get back to my car. Which of course had my water, bag, compass, rope etc....always take that bag now, even on short trips out [/QUOTE]
