Dyingjohnnie member Registered: 02/22/12 Posts: 51 Loc: SLC, Utah	Thanks for all the advice! I actually just got back from the local REI. Turns out there's a compass and map basics class on the 20th! Looks like I'll be attending that! Think it's possible to start a fire with a mirror like the one on those nifty compasses? _________________________ You learn that what's important is how you got there, not what you've accomplished. - Yvon Chouinard
