What does knowing cardinal directions affects in a survival situation?

325 views

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?

walking in a circle is a great way to die.

It is really hard to walk in a straight line hoping to come across a landmark like a road or river.
