Thread: Lost in the bush

I've spent quite a bit of my life hunting the Hauhungaroa and Rangitoto Ranges. A compass is a necessity if you intend to get away from the roads and tracks and be confident of emerging again before dark.
I always carried a compass but on many occasions I didn't believe what it was telling me. In the end I engraved 'red =north' on my compass so I didn't start to doubt which end of the needle was pointing towards north.
