and just so I don't become bear-bait when I'm lost... my little GPS... great little tool, even
gives you the sunrise/sunset and moonrise/moonset of your exact location for those dawn shots
and sunset panoramas. It'll track your every movement so you can always find your way back to
the trail/truck/home. It's also a great way to save the exact location of some secret spot
you want to either go back to, or share with others.
It will give you tide schedules around the world, on the fly. Using BlueChart marine maps, I can kayak anywhere with full knowledge of how deep the waters are, what's lurking beneath the surface (charts submerged rocks, pilings, etc). It will also give me the name, phone number and co-ordinates of the local seafood restaurant at the end of the day! You just have to love technology!
