You know what slays me?

People that think they have a right to GPS in the Himalayas!

Can any one read a map or calculate magnetic declination anymore?

If you cant you probably shouldn’t be out there to begin with.

I don’t have to worry about magnetic declination from true North where I live. It is zero.

Actually it is a little irritating to read a story about a hunter in Africa being mauled by a buffalo and them calling for assistance on a cell phone when I cannot get one which works here in Florida.

High speed internet. What is that?

Why wouldn’t GPS work in the Himalayas?
