I like the dad's quote from this story:
http://edition.cnn.com/2009/WORLD/asiapcf/07/15/australia.backpacker/

"This is how to get lost in the bush: Leave your phone behind, don't tell anyone, don't phone anyone, don't sign the bush register, wear dark clothing. [...] Oh, and if you've got a space blanket, leave it behind in Perth."
