This has always been very pronounced in me and in my father's family. We tend never to get lost in the woods so to speak because of this and I was trained always like people were in the 1800s and before to look for signs or special trees or rocks or mountains or lakes or rivers to navigate by.
For example, if you are near a river you can usually follow a river downstream to a lake or ocean eventually. So, in the old days following a river was usually a good idea. You had water to drink, you weren't going to get lost walking through woods too thick to see easily out of etc.
So, following a river or a ridge of mountains that you can see can keep you alive in an emergency. The same with following road when you don't know where you are out of the mountains or deserts if the road is paved and well traveled. All these things tend to keep people alive in emergencies in their lives until they can find shelter and help or even if you are hiking and get lost some day or night in the future.
The other part of this is often I can sense earthquakes before they happen like the 1989 Loma Prieta Earthquake that I watched in TV in Hawaii because it was going to hit within a few miles of UCSC where I was attending then in 1989. So, I took my family to Hawaii and we watched it on TV in Hana, Maui Hawaii instead of having to live through that awful quake in California.
Then in 2004 I knew a quake was coming the month of December 2004 but I didn't know where it was going to hit. When I walked into the den of my father in laws house in Santa Barbara that morning I knew I and my family were not going to die from it because it had hit in Indonesia as a tsunmai and had killed 250,000 people in Indonesia, Thailand, India and on many islands in the Pacific Ocean.
