In the days before cell phones and global positioning systems, knowing how to find your own way in the wilderness was a necessary skill.

He explains why we sometimes get lost and what to do when it happens. This is a valuable traveling companion for anyone wishing to hunt, fish, explore, camp out, or simply walk through unfamiliar territory. | Wilderness Route Finder by Calvin Rutstrum, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
