Footy, get lost!

Can anyone explain how to get lost? In this day and age I find it somewhat difficult.

My GPS tells me where I am and where I've been and how to get back to my camp.

My sat phone allows people to contact me so I can ask them to come and get me. (and tell them I've just broken my ankle etc...).

My HF allows me to know what other parties are in the area and what the weather is doing. It will even transmit my GPS co ordinates.

And if I break down (which strictly speaking isn't getting lost at all, is it?) I can activate my EPIRB if necessary.

It's a far cry when I had to follow my own wheel tracks in the Simpson to get back into Birdsville.

A far cry when on the Cape I had to hope like heck that I hadn't missed the main track when travelling at night in station country.

A far cry from when following a cleared line accidentally could end in being lost and bogged.

Now I've broken down a time or three.

I've been bushed more times than I care to admit, usually in the city before dashboard know it alls became all the rage, before oziexplorer and Natmaps etc..

And I've been stranded in the Gibson desert.(no sweat,enough food and drink in the fridge for a week and comms...listen to the cricket and news on the HF).

So in this day and age, how does one actually get lost?
