By observing birds and other animals, weather patterns, vegetation, shifting sands, patterns of snow fields, and the positions of the sun, moon, and stars, would-be explorers can learn to estimate distances and find their way without having to rely on a map or a compass.\u003cbr\u003eThe wealth of valuable data and advice in this volume -- much of it unavailable elsewhere -- makes it indispensable for hikers, bikers, scouts, sailors, and outdoorsmen -- all those who might find themselves stranded or lost in an unfamiliar area. Through careful study of this book and its lessons, pathfinders can learn to interpret signs in the natural world to find their way in almost any kind of terrain.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Dover Publications","offers":[{"title":"Finding Your Way Without Map or Compass | Harold Gatty | Paperback | 9780486406138 | Used: Like New | How-To 1747755","offer_id":50890297606402,"sku":"1747755","price":32.4,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/910qIozWPtL.jpg?v=1793117950","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/finding-your-way-without-map-or-compass","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
