If "non electronic" is taken to its logical conclusion, then quartz watches
and chronometers are off limits too... That would almost certainly knock us
all off this list! Damned pity as quartz watches are so reliable, so
accurate - and so cheap!
It seems to me that the vein running through this list has been self
reliance. Being able to stay found through the observation of celestial
objects and other natural phenomenon and the translation of those
observations to a position on the earths surface using equipment you can
carry with you.
Yours aye,
Geoffrey Kolbe.
