The Natural Navigator: The Rediscovered Art of Letting Nature Be Your Guide by Tristan Gooley
4.0
I grew up idolizing pioneer trackers like Daniel Boone and Kit Carson, and I've always prided myself on the ability to find traces of trails long gone--whether they be road cuts or mine shafts in the mountains, or the straight paths through thick woods. One of my favorite pastimes is hiking at night, sans light with only the moon and the stars to light my way.
With that said, I know nothing. Tristan Gooley has composed here a master course in navigation and orienteering. Nature practically screams out directions, but only the most astute and observant can understand them. I learned how to use the moon and the stars to track my course, but I also learned why one side of my dirt road has more potholes than the other--and what that tells about direction.
This is a good read, and it will continue to stand as a valuable resource as I pursue future adventures.
