GPS
Hey Rob,
I've been using a GPS for quite a few years. I have one for hunting, one I keep in my Search & Rescue gear and one I use at work. Love 'em, can't be without them, have lost all my personal sense of direction but never really had much to begin with.
I have a small trap line so I haven't needed it, but have used my GPS anyway and works great. Can't pinpoint, closer then a couple of meters, due to the US gov't scrambling the signals, but that's plenty good enough. It's just the added time to set the landmarks however the trade off is, if you carry an extra set of batteries, always being able to find your traps, downed animal, tree stand, truck, or whatever at any hour.
Used mine and my pal, his, a couple of years ago in Wainwright. Wandered everywhere and always found our way back. Better than the few times I've been lost. Took an awesome Whitetail just to top it all off...
