Typically, no, but sometimes yes . It depends on how well I know the area (if at all), how far from the road, how many people are coming with, etc...I have a Yaseu FT-60, but (a) Don't have HAM license and (b) It's too heavy. I never take a GPS map, but sometimes I take an emergency GPS emergency locator (e.g. SPOT).
