    I bring my smart phone for convenience, but I have a map and compass along with a GPS for reliable navigation. I find my handheld GPS much more reliable over a wide range of temperatures, it provides long battery life, and it has survived drops onto rocks from a substantial height. I don’t trust my phone to keep working in challenging conditions.

      There are some of us who plan our trip, make preparations and rely on ourselves. Is not this essence of our back country experience?

    I carry the digital (PDF) version of the American Red Cross Wilderness and Remote First Aid Emergency Reference Guide on my phone. I find it covers all the basics.
