| There are also various stages of lost:
| 
| Off trail - You're not on the trail, but you know where it is.
| 
| Turned around - You think you know where you are, but you don't.
| 
| Confused - You thought you knew where you were, but now the map and the
| territory don't match.
| 
| Lost - Don't know quite where you are.
| 
| Hopelessly lost - Don't know where you are, and not likely to find out soon.
| 
| Completely lost - Don't know where you are.  No map.  No compass.  Overcast
| sky at night.
| 
| Doomed - "We're not just lost!  We're doomed!"  Nobody will ever find your
| body.
| 
| Circle walker - Found the same spot twice when you weren't looking for it.
| 
| Accomplished circle walker - Found the same spot three times when you
| weren't looking for it.
