I used to hunt with a Special Forces guy. We could both read maps and terrain well so it made for a fun partnership. He taught me something I have never heard anywhere else which was always have a panic azimuth. This amounted to pretty much a cardinal direction. When everything goes wrong what direction do you go so you can get back? We hunted the same area consistently so our panic azimuth was East. This would bring us back to a highway where we could turn right and eventually end up back in the campground parking lot.
