“The rule is, if you think you’re lost, you have to sit down for five minutes. A lot of people get worried and start wandering in random directions looking for the trail, which gets them more lost and more worried. Oftentimes, a little sit-down can help clear the head and let you remember details more clearly.”
“As an aside, if you even feel like you might be lost or maybe slightly off course, DO NOT just ‘push through.’
In those situations, people think they just need to get around the next bend or over the next hill, but you could have made a wrong turn hours ago.
Additionally, whenever you’re hiking or traveling through wilderness areas, be sure to LOOK BEHIND YOU FREQUENTLY; this is not paranoia, looking for a cougar or something. It’s because on your way back, your brain won’t recognize the terrain since it’s coming from the other direction.”
“Also, tell people exactly where you’re going and when you’ll be home. If you’re not home by X time, instruct someone to call for help.”
