[QUOTE="Mrhounddog, post: 1673912, member: 75135"] It never ceases to astound me how GPS tech has lulled folks into letting a survival skill go away. I have had Pluggers (PLGRs) die in the middle of a mission. I have had Daggers (DAGRs) fail to return a grid while directing air support. I have NEVER had a compass and map fail me. I can usually eyeball a 6 digit grid, then extrapolate an 8 digit grid to my location, and I have used a compass and map in almost every type of land environment. I will use a GPS, but I will have a lensatic and a button compass on me when I head to the field. Look Ma...no batteries...:) [/QUOTE]
