Ultralight weenies. While admittedly back in the dark ages we carried too much stuff, the trend in recent fads is so minimalist they get into trouble frequently. I would never go anywhere on foot or motorized without paper map backup. Modern tech is great but. Things that don’t require batteries to operate. A zipper pull thermometer, or aneroid barometer/altimeter. Smart phones are amazing, but they hork out when needed most. The weather app on my phone shows 10 days worth of data. But if the cell signal is lost it just deletes everything and shows blank.
I’d like to find a standalone topo map program that doesn’t require a signal for data.
