Have a plan, look at a map. Look at the sun, easy to figure out east and west from there. Unless you wake up face down in the grass from excess drinking, can figure out north and south from there from the campsite. Got a compass? Your phone will have one. Paper maps never need charging. Get some topos, Delorme makes one for every state in the US. Pack a sandwich or 3. Done lots of bikepacking all over New England, sometimes you miss a road or a town on a map? It happens. Bridge out, bridge missing, bridge closed, road doesn't exist( cept on a map) Road ends in a reservoir ( Like the Quabbin in MA) pavement runs right into the water. Roads are flatter next to the rivers and RR tracks. Live a little.
