My old 'follow the creek' navigation method versus my current GPS app (the change happened after a very wet night in the Smokies).

Honestly, the old ways sound romantic until you're actually out there. Following a creek is just asking for trouble when the weather turns. A GPS gives you the actual lay of the land, not just what's right in front of your face. It's the difference between guessing and knowing where you are. Why risk a cold, scary night when you can have a map in your pocket? Some lessons you only need to learn once.

Ever try to find a creek in the dark? A map and compass don't run out of batteries, and they force you to actually learn the terrain. Tech is great until it fails, so knowing both is the real safety net.

Yeah, that'll do it. A little rain turns a friendly creek into a raging river real fast. GPS is just less likely to get you drowned.
