From a wilderness expert, this essential guide will help you get your bearings and find your way out of the wilderness if you find yourself lost—no matter your equipment. During his remarkable lifetime, Harold Gatty became one of the world's great navigators (in 1931, he and Wiley Post flew around the world in a record-breaking eight days) and, to the benefit of posterity, recorded in this book much of his accumulated knowledge about pathfinding both on land and at sea. Applying methods used by primitive peoples and early explorers, Gatty shows how to determine location, study wind directions and reflections in the sky, and find your way in any climate by using your senses.
