your
campsite, a spectacular view, or

, paper map, and the positions of the sun, moon, stars, and other practical aids in pathfinding will help outdoorsman
find
their
way

Without
a
Compass
will teach you the basics of
using
that essential tool, such as the difference between true north and magnetic north based on where you are and
using
compass
bearings
from a map and in the field to determine location. However if you
find
yourself
without
a
compass
, this handy guide will also give you natural signs and guideposts for pathfinding, such as the
way
the wind blows, trees grow, or flowers bloom. Also covered will be determining direction through reading the Sun and the shadows it forms, the position and stages of the Moon, and familiarizing oneself with the principal constellations to guide you and determine the time at night. Perfect for the skilled woodsman or just a walk in the woods,
Navigating
With or
Without
a
Compass
is filled with tips and essential knowledge indispensible for hikers, campers, scouts and
nature
lovers."--Publisher.
