#40: X Marks the Spot
Have you ever gone on a wonderful relaxing hike? Spending a few hours alone to become one with nature and enjoy the beautiful sights, only to realize you keep passing the same sights over and over again? With this tip in mind, you’d never get into that type of situation again.
Next time you prepare to go out into the woods, throw some chalk into your backpack. Now if you find yourself a little confused about your location, you can mark your surroundings with an X. This will help you know if you’re walking in circles and will give those looking for you an idea of your route.
