Rough Camping & Survival Tips

If you know approximately the direction of where the lodge is located, you could follow the sun (if visible) east or west in morning or afternoon once you reached the fence. I got lost in the fog once in the mountains. But fortunately, I found a cheap quarter sized compass I had in my pack. I knew camp was West, so I was able to eventually get back to it. The GPS I had wasn’t working in the fog. It was showing opposite directions. Glad I had the compass.

Nugget here. A guide gave me the nickname as I looked similar to Nugent at the time. Hunting for over 50 years yet I am new to hunting in another country and its inherent game species. I plan to do archery. I have not yet ruled out the long iron as a tag-along for a stalk. I am still deciding on a short list of game. Not a marksman but better than average with powder and string.

Everyone always thinks about the worst thing that can happen, maybe ask yourself what's the best outcome that could happen?
