Throw away your GPS

>Researchers at McMaster University in Canada believe that the physical and cognitive demands of orienteering, which integrates exercise with navigation, may stimulate parts of the brain that our ancient ancestors used for hunting and gathering.

>The research team suggest it is a case of “use it or lose it”

Makes sense right? Don't use brain, brain get lazy. Use brain, brain stay strong. This is why those mental games are so important for our elderly. Especially those poor ones that have been abandoned by their families in aged care homes.

Yes, it also explains why dementia and alzheimer's is becoming more prevalent.
Another thing I read is that taking up new hobbies in your later years can be very beneficial. Like try learn an instrument, or learn new languages.
The brain is muscle. Infact, it's your most important muscle. Exercise it.

Not surprising at all. Forging new neural pathways and etc. Got to keep working that brain regardless of age.

I played a video game where my character wasn't marked on the map so I had to use a map and compass and actually learned how to use it. Checkmate, GPS fags. No, I will not go outside today, it's raining and my feet are still sore from the 8 miles I walked 3 days ago.

There is something primal about being out in the backcountry and navigating with only a topo map and compass. Once you get good enough you don't even need a compass unless you are in a low sightline situation.

Assuming you're going off trails, sure. But off trail or somewhere with suspect at best signs and not so up to date maps, I'll stick with my GPS just so I can avoid having to backtrack.

Then again, I think half the fun in going on a overnight backpacking trip is researching where I want to go. By the time my trip begins, I'll have a pretty good idea of where I'm going.

Not researching is how you starve to death in Alaska a mile down stream from a bridge over that uncross-able river.

i know you are trolling but this happened to me until i actually bought new shoes. it's not necessarily because you're out of shape.

Getting into and then getting out of situations like that is how you will become a truly great outdoorsman.
