forty miles

[corndog-44]

How many here are able to travel without getting lost the backwoods some forty miles in each direction from your home?

I've been on extended treks where we were out in the woods for a week and a couple of times for two weeks just trekking and making camp but we never really kept track of the distance. On the two weekers I know we did more than 40 miles and didn't get lost.

there are not many real woods within 40 miles of my current place. sort of 'front-woods' if anything...

i'm usualy familiar with the relative positions and configuration of the major topography within at least that range for any area i live, so if i lost track of my position it wouldn't last long.

Same as Canid, everything around here is mostly fields for corn or Soy-beans with bits of woods thrown in for landscaping, or so it seems!:cool:

40 miles like the D-Boys last physical test, sounds toughf but then again they have 24 hours and you have a weak, but still 40 miles is 40 miles. if I took a 40 mile trip from my house to wherever all i would need is a Thomas Guide lol!jk I have a Carbon Canyon to get lost in.

Unfortunately even in the UP of Michigan, still considered to be "backwoods", you can't walk 5 miles in any direction from any point without running into a road, town, or lake superior. SO yes, I could walk 40 miles in any direction and just follow the road back :(
