I agree wholeheartedly. I have GPS available on my cell phone and never use it-- GPS is a good way to pinpoint oneself on a map, but who carried freakin' maps around? Only those losers who have compasses on them as well as GPS receivers.

For everyone else, it tells them with high precision that they are still lost.

I love my GPS if you drive around Louisiana as much as I do
and with all the signs STILL down you would get one too.
Every crew member I have has bought one out of their own pocket to have one.

Just try using GPS in the woods!!
The problem is when people rely entirely on GPS without understanding its limitations.

GPS works off satilite it does not care woods or ocean the limitation is in PEOPLE.
D1 said I always carry maps and compass,but I also carry water, food, a lighter and a cell phone with GPS maps, 911 locater and a camera.
I constantly preach being prepared, and the first thing is to think before acting.
But truthfully if you dropped me anywhere in the world naked (evil mind picture ha ha )
I could figure out where I was and in which direction to go, what to do, and how to SURVIVE.

Hey, I know I'm late, but I missed this hehe.

You know, I have been reading alot lately about the Solar Cycle. The cycle has been gaining in intensity over the past century. So I guess this doesn't surprise me. Its going to get pretty hot around here in 2011. Dime to a dollar, we're going to hear about how we've killed ourselves with our lust for horsepower.

But its like something from a sci fi novel.. the sun getting hotter and hotter, inexplicably before its time...


And you know what, I think I just came up with a new spin on the solar sci fi idea... ^_^ *writes it down*
