The only thing correct in that name is the boy part.
And that's questionable.

Funny story thanks for sharing. I've been turned around in some smaller pieces of woods than I care to admit and he says he is connected to 3000 acres and it was raining, we all know how that can turn someone around but it just goes to show bring a compass because GPS is just reliable enough to get you lost.
Life sure is tough when you don't learn from the mistakes of others.

And he had a phone??? Couldn't even type in his own address and get directions to get across just 30 acres?
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

I've been turned around in some smaller pieces of woods than I care to admit and he says he is connected to 3000 acres and it was raining, we all know how that can turn someone around but it just goes to show bring a compass because GPS is just reliable enough to get you lost. I once got turned around on while tracking a deer my daughter shot the evening before. It was overcast and in a lower bottom type of ground but not in a bottom. I looked up after quite a while walking circles with my head down looking for blood. I was in an area with no distinguishing land mark, ditch, trees or even a hill. I had no idea what was direction was what and it was a larger area and I didn't want to wonder the wrong direction. I stayed calm and thought for a minute and remembered phone had a compass app. I had reception and within 10-15 min I was back at the truck. I was not far from the truck, had been in that area 3/4 times in the previous 5 years and I have never been turned around and not had not known what direction was what. It was an uncomfortable feeling. Staying calm and thinking normally saves the day and a compass is a great idea. No lose of single or dead battery.

If you live in the easteen us, you can pick a direction and start walking and you'll find civilization within hours. Of course that could be problematic if you're in serious medical distress, but otherwise you'll not risk the Rule of Three. The problem is that most folks without a compass bearing, landmark or terrain feature to follow physically cannot walk in a straight line. They end up walking in circles as I discovered in the incident I posted.
