[QUOTE="davent, post: 216782, member: 6002"] Atom, not sure if its true south, but its close. At least if you know where south is, you know the rest North opposite etc. When I was a kid, number 1 rule when lost is, stop where you are and wait. Ok, so long as you have water nearby. While you are waiting, make a signal of some sort, make something that stands out. Straight lines and even spacing dont usually occur naturally. A smokey fire. Burn green bush if there is any. If you are in desert, and theres not much to burn, arrange rocks in lines, make an arrow pointing to you or your shelter. Shelter might just be shade of a bush, you might rotate around the shade with the sun. Keep a garbage bag in a pocket all the time. Weighs nothing, can be used to collect water, provide some shade, make a vest, carry stuff, carry a couple eithqer on your person or in a small back pack. [/QUOTE]
