: No need...

Do you carry a spare paddle?

What happens if, for instance, your GPS is lost or broken, or you didn't pack enough batteries, or your battery charger broke, and fog rolls in rendering your aerial (not surface-Are you taking nautical charts as well?) maps useless?

An orienteering-type compass is very small and light and will function at least as well as one of those big strap-ons.
