I'm not going to berate you as obviously I just stated that I am the same way, but as a long time Search and Rescue Volunteer, many generations of dogs and I have hunted for people that were "just fine". now granted, a (probably not terribly surprising) majority of them were drunk hunters...

Me? I wear one compass on my watch, keep another clipped to my shoulder bag, and carry back-ups in my suitcases when traveling. I still get lost.
