Let's face it, electronic devices for almost all of us are ubiquitous in our lives and affect almost every aspect of our existence.

There are apps for almost everything – including one that uses GPS technology to track your hiking status, lets you pre-plan your route, alerts you way-points and even warns you if you stray off your desired course.

Walk on any local hiking trail and you are likely to see someone consulting or using their iPhone or some gadget for advice, to post pictures or just to communicate with someone.

I even have an app that gives me the relative depth of any lake, river or pond I fish.

Our devices are in many ways a part of us and the same would hold true in all but a few types of survival situations.

On the next page, we cover survival devices and how you can use them in a survival situation, hiking, camping, fishing or hunting.
