>>2309631Preparation will help. Having a map & compass as well as a knowledge of where you are/ the trails will help prevent getting lost, also just don't go off-trail if you're worried about getting lost. A GPS device will greatly help you if you get lost & it's reassuring to have one. If you're worried about predators just bring a firearm or purchase one, very hard to go missing if you have a GPS device, weapon, plenty of water, & knowledge of the area.
There is always a chance you no-clip right through a portal & are lost forever but those chances are very slim & most likely not real.
