The Wilderness Route Finder

Description

by Calvin Rutstrum

Don’t let the title fool you. Thirty percent of this classic book is devoted to using celestial navigation on land. If you’ve ever wondered how Lewis and Clark did it, this book will give you some good ideas. First published in 1967, Rutstrum’s book has become the classic for outdoor navigation, and has been reprinted as a handy paperback edition.

As more and more people seek to simplify their outdoor experience and return to traditional navigational methods that do not rely on electronics, these simple, straightforward and dependable methods can be appreciated anew. Overall emphasis is on how to use a map, compass, a sextant, and the sun and stars.

This book is a valuable traveling companion for anyone wishing to hunt, fish, explore, camp or simply walk through unfamiliar territory. SC, 2000, 215 pages. SW 0.6 lbs.
