Can be as simple as getting the tread of your boot damp, putting some dust on it and stepping on a piece of paper. Leave that at home with the rest of your info or scan it and include it with your hunt plan. Seems a bit extreme but it really does help if it comes down to crews heading out to help find you.

That's a great idea about the boots.
I'm going to do that.
And yes always leave a map of your intentions.
