No, but I can't tell if you are being humorous or serious.
If serious....
I would not be so foolish as to go wandering in the countryside, and especially in woodland, at night unless properly equipped to do so.
While it is tempting to suggest anyone who imagines they can navigate cross-country with only a "smart"-'phone, especially in the dark, deserves all they get; searching for them does puts a lot of other people to a lot of trouble.
The only positive reason for nocturnal woodland exploring is observing the wildlife active then; but generally those who do that by hobby, study or work are properly equipped and know how to do it safely.

@Reflection2 Or bears.... I have been walking in the Norwegian hills, though not at night, and it was a little bit worrying very occasionally seeing bear paw-prints. We never saw any bears though. Most likely if they knew we were there, they kept at a safe distance, hidden among the trees.

At potentially dangerous places, which includes a forest, yes.

@SW-User Indeed - a cemetery is supposed to be a place of peace, after all.
I occasionally take a short cut even at night through my local church-yard. All the graves in that part were levelled some forty years ago and laid to lawn, so you'd not otherwise know they were there. Some of the stones are stood along the boundary wall, others used to help retain a bank; but where the inscriptions are still legible they are all some 300 or so years old.
If I didn't take the short-cut? I'd walk along the main road between the present and older cemeteries!
A Society of Friends ("The Quakers") cemetery not far from me was last used in the 19C. In recent years it has been refurbished and turned into a lovely, quiet little public garden. I am not sure if the voluntary group members responsible are local Quakers, are non-aligned "friends of", or indeed both. I think I've seen this done elsewhere, too.
