I'm pretty green at map/compass/terrain association land nav. I'm extremely proficient with GPS but have minimal experience with low-tech methods.

Just for shits and giggles, I'd like you to consider one of the SOF Truths (even though most everyone has just sort of written them off as silly and antiquated)
"Humans are more important than hardware"
GPS signals can be scrambled - batteries will die.
The north seeking arrow will almost never let you down.
You will never truly master the art of being alone and unafraid if you place all of your trust in hardware.
"YOU" are more important than GPS hardware - trust yourself not Garmin
So - good luck
