    What you’d want is a compass and easily identifiable landmarks. You can make identifiable marks as you blaze a trail, breaking branches or marking trees, hopefully avoiding marring the bark. Generally you’ll be following a game trail anyway, it’s likely the easiest path to take.

      Yes, but I still wouldn’t trust a map that doesn’t match what I’m seeing.

      I agree with you completely
