I consider it a point of honour to rely on my own bushcraft and map and compass primarily and I’ll only use GPS/apps for checknav.
My favourite landnav tool would have to be Ye Olde Suunto MC-2/G mirror-sighting baseplate compass.
When it comes to apps, I use the Paper Maps app on my phone for recording tracks mostly.
Trail Hiking Australia is the go-to website for finding your next hike, bushwalk or trail run. It's a site filled with tips and advice to help you get out in nature and return safely. Develop new skills, learn how to prepare for your next hike and remain safe while navigating the trail. Find out more about hiking gear, read the latest blog posts, trip reports and gear reviews, and download my helpful PDF hiking guides. Become an active member of this fun, rewarding and adventurous community.
I've built this site as a free community service as I'm passionate about the outdoors and getting people out into nature, safely and with confidence. This is a hobby and not a business so I don't have the the financial backing that companies do, so any financial support you can offer is really appreciated.
