When you go somewhere, hiking, climbing a mountain or whatever it is you do, you should check before the time on Google maps, study the place to see potential dangers and basically just see where you are. If you know where you are its not as easy to get lost. After all that is what lost is. So if you know where the bends are and what is where you will not as easily get lost.
If you can use technology like Google earth, use it. It might help you in times of need. Use Google earth before climbing a mountain and if there information on the place you are going to, especially if its in another country in the wild or desert , find out about the indigenous people that live there and study what they eat, drink and where and how they sleep. That information is almost more important than the survival gear you are carrying. (except for the knife of course.)
