Compass, Altimeter, topographic maps, notes about the route that I've made. Even a watch can aid navigation if you can calculate your speed and see any terrain features.

If anything doesn't jive with what I expect or what I'm seeing I try to understand why.

Maybe there is a market for civilian version of DSMAC?
