Thanks Eric and to all of you. Perhaps I should clarify that this is to be a 10-page feature touching upon all the types of navigation foot hunters might find useful, including no-help methods such as the home base method and dead reckoning, orienteering with map and compass, and GPS. I am including personal stories that point to the limitations of relying on any one method. GPS batteries can and do fail, the LCD screen may go blank in extreme cold (this happened to me once at 30 below in Montana), the GPs unit can be lost or simply quit working. My brothers E-Trex quit cold on him in the Scapegoat Wilderness, for example. The company replaced it -- after he had to find his back using other methods. I'd appreciate any personal experiences you have had (hunting, not boating). Thanks in advance. Keith
PS By the way, I am a double rifle afficionado -- that's how I came to your fine website.
