Never Look Back Unless You Leave Your Pack.

When in new bush, the amature will find everything has a tendency to look the same. So look for the unique. When you throw down your pack to hunt, you should already know to be moving slow and keep your eyes open.

Not only should you have an eye for game, but uncommon land marks. As you walk slowly around keep an eye out for fallen or stripped trees. Changes in the ground level. Watch your game trails, and how they look. Look around you 360 degrees.

Look back and keep a mental snap shot of what the way behind you looked like. You will want to have an idea of the appearance from that perspective; this may also reveal the unique trees and land marks from different angles. When walking back, the westward sun will also be at a different angle, changing shadows, thus making finding your way back even more difficult.
