Question

Why might campers lost in the woods tetrace their steps

Answer 1

Hi!

By retracing your steps, you will find the place you came from. If they are lost, they can find out by retracing their steps where they previously were.

This way, by finding out where they came from, they will know where they are.

Hopefully, this helps! =)

Answer 2
