I'd rather not be dependent on electronics. They can always break or run out of power.you know as well as i do that emp's dont work like they are shown in that movie.
plus a phone is smaller than your map + compas.
Let me guess... Samsung Gravity?My phone can do quite a bit; internet, facebook, youtube, photo's, video's etc... Though the shit thing about it is that it can't hold a fucking charge when I go to one of my friends house. I can charge it up fully before I go there and it's guaranteed to have run out of charge and be turned off after about six hours up there. And my phone normally lasts about 4-5 days before I need to charge it.
Nope, it's an LG... something. I know that much. I picked it out simply because it looked cool and had more fancy app's than my old piece of shit phone.Let me guess... Samsung Gravity?
That's why you take both the map, the compass, and the technology. I mean let's face it even scouts get lost sometimes without a GPS, especially in a desert where the distinguishing features you need for the map and compass to work don't exist.Indeed, there are advantages to the phone and technology and all that. I personally just don't like relying on it.
Unless you are in a desert you shouldn't need the GPS. Seriously, if someone like me can find the direction during a pitch-dark night in a forest where you can't see more than 10 meters to one direction, it can't require any special talent.That's why you take both the map, the compass, and the technology.

Oh, agreed. I just personally prefer the map and compass. Though the maps we used were just satellite images with gridlines so the image was pretty clear for where we had to go. Whenever I took point on patrol I'd always just go by my map and compass and have the guy behind with a GPS just in case... and he had a map and compass too for his own backup.That's why you take both the map, the compass, and the technology.

But I'm not Irish. I didn't know I had any Irish ancestry until now.Hate to burst your bubble, but thats what all irish say because it's sort of true. At least from my understanding after taking celtic mythology and irish literature, not to mention how they "king" system sort of worked, the joke is all irish can trace themselves back to a king. I'm Leinster myself. But it's a cool thing to know
