If you spend time out in the wilderness this would be a good thing to get. If you need, you can write a quick sign if you are changing plans, just in case you are listed as missing for some reason. The paper is still flammable, so you have quick kindling for a fire. It's not good for creating an ember or anything, but it is a good add in for a birdsnest if you are having problems finding dry materials for that. The covers also have map scales, conversion charts, and a small bit of imperial and metric tape on the sides of the back. I added a few to my kit here, that's all I know.
