Trick incase you get lost.

[Mortblanc]

In my own area the situation is such that I can not shoot an azimuth and walk it for more than 2-3 miles before crossing a paved and marked road.

One must work very diligently to become "lost" in most civilized nations. In fact, it is almost impossible to sit down in the woods, listen closely, and NOT hear the sounds of human existence off in the distance.

Keep in mind that if one is evading danger any marking of a trail such as blazing or tagging will lead your adversary right to your doorstep.

The first and primary rule of moving on foot in hostile territory is to stay off any marked trail system. Therefore, if marking a trail, one is creating a system it will place him in danger to use.

The other basic rule is to "never return the way you came". Therefore it does not matter what is behind you, you will not return that way.
("never look back they might be gaining on you!")

If one is in hostile territory, marks a trail, then returns on that same trail the chance of ambush is increased greatly.

If none of these things are of a concern or a factor in you decisions why are you not simply walking along the roadway?
