Thread: Tips for beginners on not to get lost in the woods?

Firstly I would like to apoligise if this has already been covered.

I am keen to start hunting goats and pigs and would probably start with single day trips near Auckland. I have read a good amount of information regarding advise for beginners but still have some questions I am concerned with.

The biggest worry I have is getting lost, I assume Phone GPS won't be any good so how would I know which way to go back after 4-5 hours of walking/hiking in random directions and with multiple random turns?

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks
Alex
