While checking out a plastic container in the shed I came across an army medic bag. It is about 18 inches square and probably at least 6 inches thick. It has several snap out pouches roughly the same size, some mesh some not. it also has mesh "Pouches sewn into the inside top, bottom and sides to store stuff.

This is it, but mine is woodland camo.

Found an old book I didn't know I had (copyrIght 1991). Titled "The Green Beret's Compass Course"(subtitled The New Way to Stay Found (Not Lost) Anywhere) by Don Paul.

Don't know what to think about it yet anyway. He touts Navigation WITHOUT a map, just a compass If I understand it right. As I've said, we shall see.

Well after reading the book for a while I have come to realize that although it may work It is so confusing on the face of things that I will probably just put it back in a drawer to be forgotten again for many years.

If you know where your at and know where you want to go, then you don't need a map.

But most people carry a map for those times where they aren't sure or don't know where they are or know where they are but don't know how to get where they want to go. And in emergencies, you'll get much faster response times if you can give accurate grid coordinates rather than directions like "by the little lake shaped like a shoe".

In my opinion, navigating without an accurate local map is a calorie burning losing proposition.
