BACKPACK TIPS: Turn your PHONE into a GPS!

Can you really use a smartphone to navigate the backcountry?

Navigation while backpacking or hunting is important and thanks to the technology we have in our hands, it has never been easier.

In this video I talk about my experience with different navigation tools and how I came to rely more and more on my smartphone to get me from point A to point B every time (and yes… I have backups).

I'm talking about 3 different navigation applications for your phone that are specifically tailored for use in the country.

1. Gaia GPS – https://www.gaiagps.com/byland20/
2. onX Maps – https://www.onxmaps.com/
3. Guthook – https://atlasguides.com/

I've used them all and they all have their place and purpose. They all ensured that I was able to travel safely through the backcountry and return home without any mistakes.
