Just got back from 5 days in McCall. Man I love the 7S gauge. I have a terrible sense of direction and get turned around in my home area easily. In a place like McCall I’d have no idea where I was or what was the way home. The 7S is so easy to work with. Basically figured it out just by fiddling with it. So nice to be able to find my buddies even in the thick trees and navigate to an areaI wanted to get too just by following the map on the gauge. Over and over we would find each other in the thick woods even where you couldn’t see someone until you were right on top of them. Always knew the way home. Gave me confidence to get off the trail and take “shortcuts” I didn’t know existed. My stress level of losing my friends or getting lost myself went to zero. So worth the money.
