About this item
All the Skills You Need to Navigate Unfamiliar Terrain In this must-have guide, top wilderness trainer and author Craig Caudill partners with fellow wilderness instructor Tracy Trimble to help you find your way in nature -- no matter the tools you have on hand. Using real-life stories of wilderness navigation successes -- and cautionary tales of wilderness exploration gone awry -- Craig and Tracy start with the basics of rudimentary compass and map use before teaching the finer points of these indispensable resources, making Essential Wilderness Navigation the ultimate go-to guide for explorers of all skill levels. You'll also learn how technological aids like GPS and natural elements like flora, fauna and celestial bodies can help you identify your position.
