I use only paper map and compass. At my age I'm interested neither in learning how to use yet another electronic gadget nor in carrying more batteries! Map-and-compass navigation has served mankind well for quite a few centuries and me for the past 65 years!

Heather, try repackaging things like bug dope and sunscreen in those little 10 ml dropper bottles you can get from Gossamer Gear. or from US Plastics. Never take more than you need for the trip!
