 JM> Once again, I forgot one essential barter item....maps...

Forest service modified topicals available in camping and hunting stores.
Shows the trails, roads and major landmarks but much easier to read.
Get a good portable atlas, like Rand Mcnally.  Include a good rangefinder
compass and learn how to use it before you have to.
It is also a good idea to KNOW several bolt holes and how to get to them
beforehand.  Ideally have one you can reach on foot, one with a car, and
one where you can get lost and no-one can find you.  If you can cache
material there before hand, do so.  I have mine.
I am lucky that I live next to a large city owned park.  It includes a
substantial mountain range.  I am also 1 hour away by car from a wilderness
area that is ideal.  Give me two hours and I will be in an area the size of
Vermont that Allah himself couldn't find a regiment.  Even if I can't walk
very far anymore.

Further respondeth sayeth not.  <grin>
