[QUOTE="Brumble-Gum, post: 54225, member: 1569"] Before entering a new area I research the areas by studying Google Earth and topo maps, remembering roads, rivers and property fences etc. I try to keep creeks and gullies to one side, remember digging/tracks as I go. Having a 5000 also allows me to know when planes fly over, trucks and motorcycle shift their gears or mines use their radios if nearby. If worse comes to worse I have my mobile phone (turned off) in my battery pouch which has a compass app on it. Nothing worse than being bush whacked and have to retrace your steps. [/QUOTE]
