I carry the same old Leupold Sportsman compass that I bought in 1969 and use a time-direction system with my almost as ancient Rolex Explorer II watch. I can find my way back to my starting point and I carry a notebook plus pencil to record way points.

I seldom need a compass in most of BC due to the very unique topography which makes it easy to remember landmarks, but, it is wise to carry and know how to use one. I do not and nevr have used a GPS and likely never will.
