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?

It’s useful because you typically don’t just wake up lost in the forest. If you’re aware of the cardinal directions, you should be (generally) aware of where you came from. For example, if you went hiking and got lost, the compass can point you back where you came from.
