Oh, I probably won't need to unfold the entire thing, just enought to see what I need to see to associate the terrain and take some sightings. Which is more than I can get on a 8.5x11 on a sheet of paper, centered on the loop I'm doing for a weekend.

I'll go out like this, but I like the extra security of the larger map.

I'm going to try out what you suggested with printing them out myself the next time I go, but I'm still not sure how, with the cost of ink and paper, if it is going to be cheaper.

Lighter... yeah, probably.
