Your post brings up a hidden epidemic among hikers. I've observed countless people packing a big old Rambo knife, canteen etc. that gives them a decided list to starboard. Then they walk in a subtle arc to the right and then blame that poor old button compass in the knife's hollow compartment for getting themselves lost. Like Bugs said "hmm, I must have taken a wrong turn at Albuquerque <img src="/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />"
