Never throw out a tool...never discount a capability...when I survey, I have GPS, robotic instruments and hand held computers to complete my projects...I also carry a compass, steel measuring tape, and pad and paper...you never know when the technology is not going to be enough to complete a project...and communications-wise, I've used an ad-hoc form of semaphore to communicate when the radios went down...IMC, semaphore, shadow-stick method...helps to know a lotta stuff I learned or tried in the Boy Scouts.
