[QUOTE="An Idahoan, post: 1836839, member: 95631"] If you are hunting in an area with topography, then a compass is not even worth it's weight. Terrain recognition and a good map (with legend) are all you need. One life or death item is a headlamp. Because of how critical an item it is, I wear one around my neck and have one in the pack. Modern headlamps are durable and waterproof such that if you properly install fresh batteries, you have nothing to worry about. Lastly, if you are waiting until this hunting trip to try out your new gear - you're doing it wrong. Shakedowns are key to figuring out what you actually need and how your system actually works. Take notes! [/QUOTE]
