There was a nature preserve at the end of my block growing up. Maybe 2x2 miles of light woods with a creek and some minor trails. I explored it regularly and often had to find my way home by walking in a straight line to the edge of the woods (where there would be recognizable streets in the town). When I'm backcountry I always have a GPS and good maps. You can lose a trail walking 100 yards off it to check something out.
