Maybe. I'd give it a go...

SJD x

Yes. I've done it before. The woods seems to have a natural path that my intuition connects to. I read a book once that referred to this as the Dragon Path through the forest.
That’s an interesting term. @robingoodfellow
@deathfairy it's resonated with me ever since I read it.

@robingoodfellow I've noticed that when I focus on nothing else, I can pretty much tell where North is. It feels up, if that makes sense.
Boeing · 36-40
depending on how big woods are we talking about. And season. If it's winter and I have no food/shelter then I don't know if I'll have the time. I want to think I would miraculously somehow, perhaps some eagle or coyote would help me
ScreamingFox · 41-45, F
Yup. I grew up in the sticks. That's just home.
This was taught in basic training. We were also taught how to build a two-man shelter out of twigs and snow.
Angelboy · M
Yes most definitely
Jessmari · 46-50, T
I'm still lost in the woods.
I’m not sure I’d want to, at this moment of history.
fun4us2b · M
I think so
JoyfulSilence · 51-55, M
Find a stream and follow it downhill?

Good way to avoid dehydration, too.
HowtoDestroyAngels · 46-50, M
As long as I could see the sun, I'd be alright.
AngelUnforgiven · 51-55, F
I'm confident that I would be able to find my way out. Or at the very least find some shelter.
ElRengo · 70-79, M
Since a kid I have that "gift".
I end finding a way almost everywere.
val70 · 51-55
Yep, been trained to
val70 · 51-55
@swirlie Yes, I still remember the machineguns and flares going up too. All for not moving in straight lines myself eversince
swirlie · 31-35
@val70
...and where was all that happening?
val70 · 51-55
@swirlie Kamp Beverlo near Leopoldsburg
Likestoenjoylife · 51-55, M
Not if I wasnt familiar with the woods or area might eventually find my way out but that would depend on the terrian
Yes, I have a strong inner compass
LordShadowfire · 46-50, M
I think I could. We begin with the fact that moss growing only on the north side of trees is a myth. It actually grows the thickest there. So right there, I have my geographic directions. The next step is to find a creek or river. Follow it downhill, and I eventually find a lake. If I'm in Oregon, and I'm at a lake, it's only a matter of time before a fisherman shows up.
Nitedoc · 51-55, M
Most likely, but it would be better if I had a gear with me.
Kiesel · 56-60, M
If Rambo can do it then surely I can!! 🤷🏻‍♂
TAReturns · M
Eventually 👍
exexec · 70-79, C
Yes, I have those skills.
Pretzel · 70-79, M
nope.

but it reminds me of the old question - how far can you walk into a forest?
gregloa · 61-69, M
As long as I had a woman to make me a sammich and get me a beer.
scorpiolovedeep · 51-55, M
Yes.
As long as I have a drone or a UHF with me.
Horok · 31-35, M
May be with some luck otherwise no.
Degbeme · 70-79, M
Not if the bear finds me first.
If it’s Summer.. I’m confident.. 🤔
meJess · F
I know not to go in the house made of sweets
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
Very unlikely.
Elessar · 31-35, M
@CrazyMusicLover You could follow the sun too

If you had it in your latitude

🏃🏻‍♂🏃🏻‍♂
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
@Elessar
If you had it in your latitude

💀😆
@Elessar Not every area of wilderness has the luxury of solar guidance, some forests are quite dense in tree cover.
Find a stream / water source. That’s the guide to the eventual exit 🌲

The middle of nowhere is in that space between neither here nor there.
val70 · 51-55
@swirlie It's the wilid, wild west, of course
swirlie · 31-35
@val70
Actually, by definition it's not the wild, wild west.

Nowhere is neither here nor there.

In contrast, the wild, wild west has a location and a direction.
val70 · 51-55
@swirlie It's nowhere because it has never been anywhere, just a concept. Not even historical correct
Every forest has a flowing stream or river, or three, just stop and listen for it, then follow it upstream, you will eventually make it out.
