Step 2 - The Art of Not Getting Lost in the Wilderness
Lost in the woods? No problem! With this step, you'll learn how to use landmarks, topographic maps, and your wits to find your way back to civilization.
Landmarks are your friend! Look for recognizable features like:
- Big rocks
- Trees with weird shapes
- Caves (good for hiding from zombies)
But wait, there's more! Use your topographic map to:
- Follow a river (but not upstream, that's just silly)
- Climb a really tall mountain (if you're feeling fancy)
- Follow a trail (if you're not feeling lazy)
And if all else fails, just use your wits! Think about:
- The sun (it's not always shining, but it's always there)
- The stars (if you're not lost at night)
- The smell of food (if you're near a campsite)
That's it for today's lesson, folks! Next up: Step 3 - Starting a Fire Without Matches.
