Old school map case trick still beats my phone in the rain
Was on the Olympic Peninsula last fall and the drizzle turned into a proper downpour by hour two. My phone screen kept glitching under the plastic case and I couldn't read the trail junction. I remembered my dad's trick from the 90s, rub a bar of beeswax over a paper map and it sheds water like a duck. Tried it on a cheap topo before heading out and it worked, zero soggy edges after 6 miles. Anyone else still carry paper maps for wet trips or am I just stuck in the past?
