We went to the WMA for our hike today, objective was exercise, practice quiet walk, movement with hand & arm signals, fire building, navigation with GPS.
Future hikes will include more bush craft and field craft including reading topo maps along with compass.

I agree Helo. That looks like a great trip.
Looks like a great time was had there! Make sure ya include a compass and map with that GPS! I always use a terrain map and use the GPS as a backup!
RELIGION IS LIKE A PENIS
Its fine to have one,
Its fine to be proud of it,
But please dont whip it out in public and start waving it around,
And PLEASE dont try to force it down my children's throats.
An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.
Have a compass, getting a nice topo from... er... topo.com. I can print some from NatGeo but on a 8X11 paper, its only a splice of the area... Looking to get one about the size of a mill map.
None the less, we didnt go far enough to NEED either, but I wanted to mark the waypoint to a GPX so I can plot it on prorgrams, maybe print a topo for a section... Shit looked awesome on Google Earth!!
Thanks all..
