You need to come down to NC sometime and hike around Uwharrie NF. I like to go there alone most of the time - nobody will go with me.
Invest $7 in a small wrist band compass - it helps in keeping track of your general direction. (I do carry a large Silva Compass, 1:24,000 map cut down to the area I'm hiking and a GPS - but they are in the pack).
I did love your clips - easy to put myself in your position. Pretty chipper "Oh, well, lost but I'll still have a good time" kinda' guy.
Hang in there.
