Walking a trail isn’t the same as walking cross country. Humans aren’t very good at off trail navigation.
Most aren't. Some are.
Does the bbc now have the modern clickbait intensifier generator as well? something that randomly adds "speechless", "your draw will drop", "what they dont want you to know" etc etc

Humans have the pretty nearly the best long-distance speed of any land animal, lots of things can out sprint us (which is bad for us if they are preying on us), but very few can evade sustained stalking by humans (which is bad for them if we're preying on them.)

It's scary how inept people are in general at navigation. Telling the time and obtaining a rough compass heading by the position of the sun should be something anybody can do but surprisingly few people can do this.
John Huth's The Lost Art of Finding Our Way is a good read for anyone interested in improving their navigation skills.
But what about the plastic pollution as a result of this (from the GPS tracker that will now become permanent plastic garbage).
I don’t mean to say the pollution isn’t worth the fox study. But why isn’t anyone asking if it is?
Who determines, or at which point do we say, yes this study is worth creating this amount of pollution?

why? why do humans nowadays need this skill?
Good luck finding your way out of the national park with your empty phone.
