Simplest of them is this: if you're truly lost in the woods, find running water (like the water these turkeys were standing in), a brook or river, and follow it downstream. Walk in the water if you can't walk along it. But follow the river downstream.
You do this for three reasons: 1) you will eventually find a settlement, a road, or the ocean, 2) You'll have water to boil, purify and drink as needed (you did bring your purifier tablets, right?), 3) a ready supply of brook trout pan-fries for the win. (You did bring your line and a hook, didn't you?)
You don't need a hook and line, just some dental floss and a safety pin can work in a stretch.
