I guess compasses and maps! And being familiar with terrain.

Personally I’m not bugging out or planning to go anywhere. I am as remote as I can get without hiking off into national forest.

Sometimes plans change and it is good to have options. My point was that most people don't have even the basics for navigating overland or over water for that matter. Many don't even own a road map, much less a topographical map of their area or a useful compass.

POWs hoping to escape, risked their lives to obtain or create what today can obtained from Walmart or Amazon for only a few bucks.
