Hello All,
I was curious where some of you acquire your maps when you out into the wilderness. What type of maps do you use? Satellite, Topo, etc...? How about scale? Is there something certain you look for?
Do most areas have one spot where you can generally find this? Land Management, Ranger Station, the Internet?
Also, what kind and type of compass do you like to use? Any brand you prefer? Is size important?
I have no problems using electronics, but I always prefer to have the old trusted and proven compass and map handy. Electronics can so easily break, have their batteries go dead, be hacked, or have natural occurring interferences.
