Navigate back to civilization.
Before we begin, remember the basics of outdoor safety: Rescue teams will find you more easily if you stay in one place, preferably close to your last known location or your planned destination. Unless you’re facing a serious emergency, such as a natural disaster, stay put and don’t leave the trail! For the sake of this guide, however, let’s assume you have deserted the beaten path.
Finally, assuming you’re lost in an area humans tend to frequent, look for the marks we leave on the landscape. Trail blazes, tire tracks, and other features can lead you to civilization.Even if you brought a map, it won’t do you much good if you don’t have your bearings. Fortunately, the sun can point you in a general direction.
What if you don’t have a flat patch of dirt, or a straight stick that’s long enough? Sunlight can still help you navigate, but in a much rougher fashion. In the Northern Hemisphere, the southern sides of objects generally receive more direct sun than the northern ones. The reverse is true in the Southern Hemisphere.
