Practical, nein?\r\n\r\nBut remember. Anything that runs on a battery can run out of power. Take a map, compass, and an extra battery. Don\u2019t trust in a smart watch or iPhone that conks out as the thermometer approaches 0\u00b0.

Resist the urge to sheep it. Think; make decisions about where you\u2019re going, based on where you are, all the time. Sensors on!

It\u2019s tempting to follow them, especially in deep snow. But this isn\u2019t always wise. So think.
