Overheard a thru-hiker say maps are for old people
I was at a gear shop in Gatlinburg and this kid said GPS on his watch is all he needs. Made me think about all those paper maps I still carry out of habit, anyone else still stuff a folded map in their pack?

Wait, this kid actually said maps are for old people? I feel like that's a recipe for getting lost when your watch battery dies on day three. Watches freeze up or break way easier than a crumpled piece of paper stuffed in a zip lock bag.

Right? Next they'll say compasses are a scam and they just spin in circles for fun until their phone dies.
