Be Prepared

I travel in areas where it is easy to get lost, I have done it several times, but I do know how to get unlost.

I now use GPS on my Palm or notebook and always have a shovel, blanket and water in my SUV. I use to carry USGS topo maps before GPS.

I have a GPS but I still carry a compass and topo maps in unfamiliar areas.

Batteries fail. Electronics get wet or damaged.

Compasses always work.
