Yes most definitely

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
RodneyTrotter1 · 100+, M
Yes, I'd just need a water source (a stream usually leads to civilisation) and daylight.
Most woodland is grown for industrial use so if there wasn't a stream a vehicle track probably wouldn't be far away, just walk a mile or two in each direction until I find one.
ScreamingFox · 41-45, F
Yup. I grew up in the sticks. That's just home.
JoyfulSilence · 51-55, M
Find a stream and follow it downhill?

Good way to avoid dehydration, too.
SammyJo · 51-55, F
Maybe. I'd give it a go...

This was taught in basic training. We were also taught how to build a two-man shelter out of twigs and snow.
Jessmari · 46-50, T
I'm still lost in the woods.
I’m not sure I’d want to, at this moment of history.

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
swirlie · 31-35
@val70
...and where was all that happening?
val70 · 51-55
@swirlie Kamp Beverlo near Leopoldsburg
swirlie · 31-35
@val70
..so you would have been there in the mid-1990s then?
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.
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.
Nitedoc · 51-55, M
Maybe, but it would be better if I had some proper gear with me.
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.
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
swirlie · 31-35
@val70
It is located wherever our mind thinks it is, which is why most of us have been to the middle of nowhere, but neither here nor there at least once in our lives.
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.
