Funny thing is this is actually a very good idea
One of the best things you can do on realizing you’re lost is find a spot that’s safe to sit still in and wait for someone to come looking.
Practicing a perfect circle sounds like a marvelous way to waste time until the rangers get to you from your last known location!
TIL I never knew English doesn’t have a separate word for that tool.
If you use a stick with two points in it, its called a trammel.
In that situation I’d get completely turned around, compass or not
To do this, just lie the compass on its face and run your pencil around the outer edge, like you’re making a hand turkey.
And without any compass you’d be walking circles.
