A guy on the AT told me my map and compass were making me slower, and he wasn't wrong
I used to stop every 20 minutes on trail to check my map, and a hiker near Hot Springs told me to just pick landmarks and go. On my last 3 day trip in the Smokies I cut my stops way down and finished 2 hours earlier than planned. Anyone else had someone call out a habit like that on trail?

Stopping to check the map kills your rhythm, so learning to read the land instead of the paper is the real fix.
