Wade's World Hunting: Ever been lost while hunting or hiking? Most sportsmen get turned around from time to time, but they will never be lost again if they carry a Bushnell Backtrack when they head afield.

The Bushnell Backtrack is a hand-held global positioning system. I call it “GPS for dummies.” It is much simpler to operate (and much less expensive) than a standard GPS.

The Bushnell Backtrack will mark and remember three different locations. Then, the user can select whichever location he desires, and the device will show heading and distance back to the chosen spot.

Suggested uses for this device include walking to a deer stand in the dark; motoring through a swamp to a duck blind; hunting/hiking in a wilderness setting; finding a car in a large parking lot, etc.

The Bushnell Backtrack is powered by two AAA batteries.Users should carry extra batteries with them in case the batteries in the unit lose their strength. (A battery charge indicator is shown on the face of the unit.)

Also, marked locations will not be lost if the batteries go down. Suggested retail price of the Bushnell Backtrack is $65. This is a small price to pay for the peace of mind that you’ll never get turned around again.

Would liked to have seen the video on the Backtrack. It did not play.
