Almost. There are some surprisingly large parts of Canada where the flowing water takes you to the shore of Hudson's Bay and the company of hungry polar bears, rather than human habitation. There are some other rather large parts where it takes you to a muskeg swamp, and the company of hungry biting insects. I was always having to fish mother's little darlings, sent out in pairs on map using exercises, out of swamp; people unconsciously walk down hill if they can't see a distant objective. This lands you in the swamp. [snip] > I carry a loud ball-whistle. Nothing on earth makes that noise naturally.
