Thread: Hunters lost in Kaimais

Yeah the knowing approximately where you are and not exactly where you are can be a bit of HF if you are not used to it. My first solo fly camping trip I went into it all confidence and bravado in my navigating skills (was a land surveyor for 4 year at the beggining of my civil engineering cadetship) and was quickly turned around by, little gullies not marked, streams not marked and just by the fact you cant see far enough to distinguish land marks and get a good fix on my position. My GPS didnt work in the canopy, and I ended up getting a bit intimidated. Second day I took my time, used my noggin and used the major streams and faces to approxiamte my position and was happy as larry.
I can definatley see how people can get lost, especially if they are familiar with the country, so dont take a map and compass as they should
