I’ve seen people share tecniques and tips for defining east/west in a survival situation (using sticks, stones) and I’ve always heard how useful a compass is, but I’ve always wondered why is that? If I’m lost in a forest and I don’t know my surroundings, is a compass still useful to me?

If you know east from the west you can make a rough estimate of the time, how many hours until nightfall, keep walking in the same direction without accidentally going in circles, etc…
