I actually think "none of the above." I put getting tired because I know that I'm more likely to make mistakes tired, but I really think my most common mistake is probably incorrectly connecting features on the map with features in the terrain. I almost always feel that I know where I am on the map - I'm just wrong sometimes.

Thanks for your input. I'll be planning some training on all these issues. Definitely at Mt Pinos Saturday afternoon, but probably something in May as well.
