Add another vote for maps from Caltopo.com. I technically do carry a GPS (my phone), but I try not to let myself use it. It runs down the battery, and it's not really necessary with good map reading skills anyway. I rarely use a compass either, but I do carry a cheap one, and I have practiced using it just in case. For folks that hike off trail, or on snow, compass skills are more important.
