Visible crew/equipment: While the 3 men are using a tree to cross a gorge during their first encounter with the bear, you can see a black metal box with white writing on it, sitting on a rock formation in the background. Definitely filming equipment or something. You can get a glimpse of it directly behind Charles as the 3 of them sit and gather their breath once the action breaks.
The Edge (1997)
1 visible crew/equipment mistake
Directed by: Lee Tamahori
Starring: Alec Baldwin, Anthony Hopkins, Harold Perrineau, Elle Macpherson
Continuity mistake: In one of the scenes Hopkins is trying to make what I think is a fish hook or something. He's obviously been in the wilderness for a while so he's not clean shaven but he isn't exactly beardy either. However, during the scene with this fish hook his beard changes from moderate to bushy to moderate again within seconds.
Charles Morse: Today, I'm-a-gonna-kill the mutha fucka.
Answer: That would only work when the sun is visible. In Alaska there are frequent rainy and overcast days where the sun is completely blocked by heavy clouds, making a precise directional determination difficult, if not impossible.

They could see the sun; it was a sunny day after the crash, and the next day they were able to see the North Star. To begin with, they had great visibility, and it seemed easy enough to find a mountain peak or pass to use as a quick reference.
