Hi Readers,
During my research I came across this article on GPS Units that all carriers should know. And a simple fix to protect against GPS problems. PLEASE LOG ONTO THIS URL, AND READ. https://www.runnersworld.com/uk/gear/a762987/gps-your-questions-answered/ No matter how much you rely on your GPS Unit, PLEASE, carry a map and compass. And know how to use them. This url is the Eastern Washington Orienteering Club. https://www.ewoc.org Also the Spokane Mountaineers has formed classes on orienteering. I know that learning a new sport is a lot of work. But when your life, or the life of family, friends, or fellow hikers are on the line, you must know what to do, and how to get out. OTHER OPTIONS AirFlare app. https://airflare.com The AirFlare app, loads to your phone, and weight nothing, and could save your life. Even if you have a GPS Unit, it’s wise to have other options available to you. Batteries die! AirFlare only costs $4.99 a year. Why not have a backup? Below are online stores for buying maps. https://mapstore.mytopo.com https://caltopo.com GOOGLE EARTH I use Google Earth to explore my desired route and do screenshots for my phone. I’m sure there are many other resources to utilize, so do your own research, and arm yourself with what you need, especially knowledge. Knowledge is the most important item you can take into the mountains. Please be safe, and educate yourself with all the knowledge you can find. A resource I’ve used is… https://mra.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/backcountrysafety.pdf And I would be remiss if I didn’t tell you about our RESOURCE and HINTS sections. Please study our information and stay safe in Nature. Thank You for reading and using our website. Chic David https://www.inlandnwroutes.com
