U.S. Navy SEAL Guide to Navigation Secrets

Whether you're a SEAL on a mission or a hiker going for a casual stroll through the woods, you should always have a primary route and a secondary route into and out of an area. In this handbook, survival expert Don Mann details how to navigate in the wilderness by using the stars, the sun and shadows, a map and compass, global positioning systems, SPOTs, and other devices. Also included are tips on using Naismith's rule of navigation (allow one hour for every three miles, depending on terrain and fitness of the climber or hiker), how to evade pursuers, finding escape routes, and more.
