Leave it all behind?  In my 4 months on the PCT, I never needed my compass,
including 3 1/2 days of crossing snow.  In over 10 weeks in the Boundary
Waters/Quetico Park, I never needed my compass.  Maps, and a good study of
the topography, was all I needed.

However, I would never go into the back country without a compass.  Be
Prepared.
