A guy in my shop today told me about a former paddling partner of his who
among other things once set off a flare (and got a helicopter response) when
he didn't know which way to turn along a shoreline to find the campsite he
was looking for. The guy in the store said he pointed out to him later that
since he was carrying his camping equipment with him it didn't really matter
which way he went as he could have made a camp in either direction.
