How to Get REALLY Lost

On our way home we heard the story of the couple who managed to get lost in the USA backcountry using their GPS. One report of the story appeared here. The Urban Dictionary was quoted as saying that GPS is used by people who have no idea where they are.... Exactly. The source of the problem in a nutshell. We rely on all this technology and have basically given up making the effort to know where we are. GPS can be a big help occasionally, but it isn't a substitute for using some old-fashioned kinds of equipment: a map, a compass and your head.
