You clearly have never been on the MN Canada border. In those woods, overcast, no compass, no gadgets, you're turned around in 25 yards. And you can't walk a straight line through the snags even if you wanted to.
Probably the same can be said in Maine, Pac NW.

light weight,

we call that cutover around here,

I have a wooded state park less than 100' from my front door,

been all thru it hiking, biking, and fishing
as well as many areas in VA that are considered 'wild forest'

guessing you are worried about breaking a nail

[togor]

Kidding, right? You ever been in the BWCA?

[dryheat]

There are parts of Canada and Alaska that I thought, even if your parachute worked no human could ever hike out of that.

no, not kidding,

million acres of bushes or not, woods is woods,

we moved out of the burbs when I hit high school age, at the time the place my brother and I now own was called country,

and just a mile of so from the same state park (not developed like now) I live near

the road ended at an old logging road , that was left as a fire road for about 50 yrs before the land was sold and developed into housing,

used to walk all thru it as a kid, (and find a lot of old homesteads deep in the woods)

I used to hunt timber managed (that means wild) forests years ago



ever raft the Gauley, and every walked up and camped on the mountain side? that river is not exactly tame, and not much flat around it






you must be a city slicker

I don't know what your point is, Lyman, but mine is:

The distance to the nearest road matters a lot. Along with the kind of country.

We can save the woodcraft competition for the next CSP jamboree.

The 3 stooges don't know how to use a compass to trek thru the 'wilderness'. They would probably wind up lost.

I walked from the South China Sea to the Laotian border, using some of the lousiest maps you ever saw. It isn't hard if you know what you're doing.

I get the impression their leader is the kind of guy who would argue with his compass. I've had to rescue many a Second Lieutenant who had that fault.
