Mike Raether, who first appeared back on episode 22 to talk about using pack goats for backcountry fly fishing, is back again. This time, he came on to talk about backcountry navigation. Of course, it’s not really possible to actually learn how to navigate with a map and compass over an hour-long audio podcast, so this episode is more about the pros and cons of digital and paper maps, when you might use each one, where to find good topo maps, helpful tools to pair with a map, and some tips and tricks to be more confident while trying to find your way around.
