Same here, I carry one but generally only use it to align my map correctly. I used one in the PNW a lot more because the combination of heavy forest, constant cloud cover and the fact they hadn't yet invented GPS meant I actually needed to.

Of course, when your're hiking a simple, distinct trail navigation consists of staying on the trail.

It's been ages since I learned to find my location using map and compass via triangulation. I wonder if I could even do it now?

Cheers,
