When I lived in New Hampshire people were always getting lost in the White Mountains NF, some of whom died from exposure, often on the Presidential Mountain Range. I think that it is even worse today because people have come to be dependant on phone apps and have little or no spatial or situational awareness. My kids are just as bad and when I talk to them about the need to be spatially and situationally aware, they scoff and think that my preference for paper maps to find my way and that I am always looking around, rather than looking at a phone screen is archaic behavior.
