If you get lost in the forest, why can’t you make a 180 degree turn and walk back?
In: 1
I got lost in a forest once and that’s exactly what I did. Unfortunately I had lost track of where I’d started relative to where I was, and what I thought was a 180 deg turn was actually more like a 30 deg turn from a direct line to where I’d started. Thing is you don’t walk in a straight line and you don’t retain coordinates in your mind. If you wander too far into a unfamiliar forest without keeping track of your path you lose awareness of where you’re actually heading relative to where you started so doing a 180 deg turn can point you just about anywhere, and again you don’t walk in straight lines through a forest.
