Let’s talk old-school navigation

[Alan]

Hey everyone, I'm wondering how many of you still get around without GPS. Ever used a map, compass or even just the sun to figure out where you are? It's a good skill to have. So if you've got any tips, tools or stories about getting lost and finding your way back? Share here

Figuring things out with the sun is cool, but knowing about declination? That's what separates the pros from the Joes.

I still believe reading a map and using a compass makes you super aware of what’s around you. It’s cool to find your way using just what you see and feel... GPS can't beat that (my opinion)

Care to elaborate further?
