IMHO the most "challenging terrain" for navigation is flat land with thick forrest or brush cover. One can't do terrain association because there isn't any real terrain, and in any case you can't see what few landmarks there might be because of the brush. That's where compass, pace count, etc become critical.
Exactly. And those who haven't dealt with it, especially at night or in storm (or both) are quick to dismiss the tools due to a lack of experience and skill.
They don't know what they don't know.
