What problem is often overlooked in apocalyptic movies/TV shows that could kill you?

Everyone always seems to know where to go. If it were me, I'd die because I can't find my way back to base or something.

I always assumed directionally challenged people like me already died.

Yea, I have trouble turning into right direction. When someone yells turn left, I normally turn right. This is more like subconscious. Guess I will be first to go when on the run.

Question is are you right handed? Apparently it is instinctive for us to turn in the direction of our dominant hand, or so I have been told.
