: Compass. A real one.

No need...using a GPS and aeronautical map. I know where I am going having used Google Satelite Maps to study the route. I can pinpoint my locale to within 100m using the GPS and aeronautical map. The beauty of using this kind of map is that it shows outbuildings, pump jacks, etc. This means that if I need to find a structure, it will be on the map, even way up there.
