wow that was painful to watch. Seemed stressful to say the least. The one time I just trusted that we'd be fine without me having the tools and knowing the route. Disaster. Hard lessons learned. I have to admit I dont bring a standard compass. I'll reconsider now
We actually had a fun trip. Sort of. I used the "best" moments of us talking to show the bad moments of the trip. But the most stressful hours I didn't even film because we were focused on finding the trail again. Long stretches in snow and massive blowdowns post holing and trying to follow a bearing, around obstacles and tough terrain I didn't film at all. I wish I had. And the funny thing is... I always have a small clip style compass on my backpack... but I used a new pack on this trip and forgot to transfer it to the new one. Lol. Murphy's Law. All we had was the compass on my iPhone. It's a bit of an embarrassing video to be hones, but I thought it might be entertaining and a bit of a cautionary tale. Thanks for watching it. And yes. I'd say always carry a compass. A physical one, not just digital.
