At least you're safe and okay ,,,

, honestly it's been forever since I've been inside a forest
I always leave the trail of marking stick so I can remember where I was

It was really scary

Sorry, my connection is bad. I made it home!

Also try to call 911 they can easily find your location and send a rest team

Make yourself visible: Stay in open areas and avoid dense vegetation or steep terrain. You can also try seeking higher ground to see landmarks and get better cell service.
Try to recall how you got where you are, and look for nearby landmarks. You can also try to pinpoint your location on a map and look for logical routes out. If you're in a forest, you might have a better chance of seeing landmarks from a higher elevation
