People should get paper maps and learn how to read them then teach family members how to read them.
And teach them to fold them! Hehe!
Just buy an atlas. It's a handy book - no folding required lol. I've folded quite a few in my day - they could be ornery.
That's asking too much! Lol
Thank goodness I still kept some from 1998!
The PTB really want WWIII and no election if they can't rig it successfully this time around.
I still get paper maps from AAA (you have to order them now - no more getting them at a local office :(
Wow. I'm surprised they still carry them. Good to know.
You have to order the maps online then they mail them to you.
To get a TripTik you do it online then print it out yourself. I miss the old TripTiks!
I once looked at a map and drove 1200 miles...
I didn't get lost.
During the winter people are always get lost/stuck in the Sierras because they rely on their GPS for an alternate route when I-80 closes.
I've never use GPS,I learned map reading/ use in school. I once took a wrong turn in st. Louis and had to get out my hunting compass,I knew if I headed south I would find 44 again and I did....
At least you didn't make a wrong turn in Albuquerque. KEK!
I was taught, and actually had to use it once, to find a tree, sit down, eat something if you have it, drink something if you have it, and relax. Then, get up and slowly take stock of your surroundings. Most people die very close to road or way out because they panic and give up, or overexert themselves. If it is late in the day...find shelter and try to keep warm.
If you are only concerned with urban areas, then a good street map is sufficient. Anything beyond that, then it is more than just being able to read a map. In a survival/bug out situation, knowing how to read a topographic map, the terrain, and the stars are ALL important. USGS Topo maps will keep you from falling off a cliff. Knowing terrain features will keep you from going in circles. Knowing how to read the grid system is paramount to using a topo. Also, knowing how to fix an azimuth and back azimuth is a must. A USGS topo map will have another very important feature called Angle of Declination. Magnetic north is not true north and you have to adjust you compass and map to the proper angle. There is a whole lot more to know. It might seem daunting, but it really isn't. Once you get the hang of it, it is pretty easy.
Oh, and get a really good compass. My go to has been a CMMG Military Lensatic for over 40 years now. Very durable, and spot on.
Russia wouldn't but the rats in DC might try it
And blame it on Russia colluding with Trump. Got to get them both in there.
