People always frame it as "Old tech is better", but having the skill to actually use it seems like the important part.
I doubt I'd know what to do with a paper map in an emergency, but I do know that I probably shouldn't go to places where lack of skill or equipment is likely to kill me.
Of course if you can't read a map (and that's a learned skill) or use a compass, then having that kit is of marginal usefulness.
Carrying a little "survival kit" , lighter, compass, map, survival bag (basically a big plastic bag that you can sleep in), pen-knife etc is a really good idea. Weighs very little, and can quite literally save your life.
I don't drive and rarely do more than "You can still hear traffic" stuff, but I do have some first aid stuff, a multi tool, an arc lighter(Since I need one anyway for heat sealing webbing and the like), and an emergency blanket.
But I have no business going anywhere where actually needing any of it is likely, without actually having the appropriate skills.
