Although children are more often lost in unfamiliar areas, adults can also lose their bearings in the field or in the forest. In order not to walk in circles, pay attention to the signs and features of the area in which you are.
Instructions
Step 1
If you are going to an unfamiliar area, warn loved ones where exactly. In case of difficulty, it will be easier for them to find you. Set a date to return so that the start of the search does not drag on until irreparably late.
Step 2
In the forest, look closely at trees and soil for features. You will be able to orient yourself on them, going back. If you do not find anything remarkable, leave notches: break certain branches, tie bright pieces of fabric. According to them, those who are looking for you will be able to determine your route.
Step 3
Divide the path into several stages, at the end of each there should be a certain landmark: an abandoned well, a large anthill, a meadow with cornflowers, or something else.
Step 4
Be guided by the sun and the clock. Determine the side of the world you are going to. Keep in mind that without orientation, your left foot is likely to be wider than your right, so you will quietly start circling.
Step 5
Be guided by the stars at night. Determine the cardinal points and directions of the path, leave the same marks on the branches.
Step 6
Listen. If there is a railway or road nearby, transport will certainly make noise.
Step 7
If telephone communication is possible, in emergency situations call the emergency services and loved ones.
