Product Description
This guide takes readers well beyond the basic skills of map and compass, moving them to a level of complete understanding of navigation in the outdoors, regardless of terrain, time (day or night), or travel (rock, ice, desert, river, open sea, or jungle). As one of the most thorough books on the subject, Advanced Outdoor Navigation complements Falcon's successful list of navigation titles by going beyond the basics and offering readers the most comprehensive study of navigational skills ever published.

I consider this book to be one of my greatest waste of time and money to date. By the title one would think/hope it dealt with advanced Navigating skills. After reading it, I can assure you it dose NOT! What it is, is a rambling self praise book that deals with survival skills. Yes those skills do include navigation, but Mr Davenport's long winded overly complicated discriptions make it laboreous to learn even the most basic skill. I learned more about navigating and survival watching the movie "The Edge". My advice to anyone thinking about buying this book is to save your money and buy one of the military manuels instead.

Most books on the outdoors include details on how to read a map and a compass; but here global survival expert Greg Davenport (who is considered one of the best in the world) offers both basics and advanced techniques, covering not just maps and compasses but charts, finding cardinal directions, using the stars to navigate, and much more. Chapters tell how to hike under all kinds of conditions, how to maintain safety under snow, rain, or rock climbing conditions, and how to pair navigation skills with basic wilderness survival savvy.
