GPS!!?
I work with wildland search and rescue out here, when I have the time,anyway, and we have had numerous calls from people wih GPS and cell phones that know exactly where they are(from the GPS) and are just as "lost" as if they didn't.The GPS is a mighty fine tool, but it's just numbers if you don't know how to get from point"A" to point "B." Back east, I grew up in a family of longtime sailors, and we learned to navigate the old fashioned way.
Bottom line: learn to read a map and use a compass, people; satellites signals fail, but the stars in the sky and the earth's magnetic field will always be there-if they're not, you're bug out bag isn't going to be much good, anyway.

As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.
