This popular, easy-to-use orienteering handbook has been helping people find their way for more than fifty years. GPS devices are great, but they can break, get lost, or easily be hampered by weather conditions. Coverage includes understanding map symbols; travelling by map alone, by compass alone, or by map and compass together; finding bearings; sketching maps; and traveling in the wilderness.

This guide takes readers well beyond the basic skills of map and compass, moving readers to a level of complete understanding of navigation in the outdoors--regardless of terrain or time of day, whether traveling over rock or ice, through desert or jungle, on a river or at sea.

Written by doctors with a wealth of wilderness specific experience, it provides a comprehensive summary of wilderness first aid and medicine - that is, managing accident or illness in remote locations without immediate access to help - giving you confidence in your ability to deal with any situation that may arise.
