Robert Livingston said: > settle on a "standard" mileage to contain on a 8.5 by 11 sheet A by-product of this is, of course, that laying several sheets out on the floor (at home or tent) allows them to match up, as they are all essentially (or perhaps perfectly) at the same scale. On solo trips, I laminate the chartlets back-to-back, but offset in sequence - thusly for a set of 6: #4 on the back of #1, #5 on the back of #2, #6 on the back of #3 The downside is that I often need to carry two chartlets on deck - the upside is that I can always lay them out 1-2-3, or 2-3-4, or 3-4-5, etc for a session of head-scratching and what-ifs - which I find useful each evening. When we went to Alaska in the K2, we splurged on weight (an extra 300 gm or 10 oz) and took two complete sets, each laminated as above. Not only did we have the unaccustomed luxury of laying out the whole trip (using the double set), but there was no fighting over who got to navigate ;-) As Natasha's a more-than-competent navigator, it always seemed to be a case of two-heads-better-than-one, which was great.
