Merle, I agree with what you've written below BECAUSE you've specified a destination - "get back out", or to return to the place from whence I came. If that is indeed my intention then yes, I might need a map; and yes, without one (or even with one) I might indeed get lost. BUT, if I had no intention to "get back out" or return to where I started. If my only intention was to roam around in the wilderness forever or until I die (whichever comes first) then I wouldn't need a map and couldn't get lost. ...Bill! --- In [email protected], Merle Lester <merlewiitpom@...> wrote: > > > >  bill..you are splitting hairs..i dare you to go into a wilderness jungle.. > and try to find you way back after you have been wandering through it for a > couple of hours..and no leaving a secret trail to follow back... > ask joe...would he wander into the desert far from base camp without a map? >  your just asking for trouble bill > and no you are not permitted to take provisions with you >  merle > >  > Edgar, > > You're not lost if you're already home wherever you are. > > ...Bill! > > --- In [email protected], Edgar Owen <edgarowen@> wrote: > > > > Bill, > > > > You are't lost until you try to get home and can't! > > > > Edgar > > > > > > > > On Jul 3, 2013, at 10:10 AM, Bill! wrote: > > > > > Merle, > > > > > > One only needs a map or considers themselves 'lost' if they have a > > > specific destination in mind.
