Back roads

A dirt track is a compass. Don't live on it. Everyone else can walk a straight line too.

Follow

Tracks go somewhere people built. A village, a farm, a well. That's a route.

Use it, then peel into the trees. See railroads.

If comms die, 'the dirt road west of the last well' is a meet. Better than 'the woods'.
