I like to navigate about 3/4 of a mile into the desert with a wandering route. Leave an Altoid box with $10 under a bush. Then walk out using a different route. Then the next day I start at the same start and go right to the box. I don't keep track of any landmarks. So far I haven't missed one.

Added: I use a method I developed called Simple Navigation Off Trails (SNOT) for wandering routes and SNOT ROCKET for pretty direct routes.
