In the world of technology, many people think that a map and compass are not necessary since they have GPS. I am sure that you have used any piece of technology and either the battery dies or the device breaks. I like to teach you the basics of reading a map and compass, so if you are lost in the wilderness and your GPS breaks you will be able to find your way home or to an area for rescue.
