review 1: I grew up idolizing pioneer trackers like Daniel Boone and Kit Carson, and I've always prided myself on the ability to find traces of trails long gone--whether they be road cuts or mine shafts in the mountains, or the straight paths through thick woods. One of my favorite pastimes is hiking at night, sans light with only the moon and the stars to light my way.With that said, I know nothing. Tristan Gooley has composed here a master course in navigation and orienteering. Nature practically screams out directions, but only the most astute and observant can understand them. I learned how to use the moon and the stars to track my course, but I also learned why one side of my dirt road has more potholes than the other--and what that tells about direction.This is a good read, ... moreand it will continue to stand as a valuable resource as I pursue future adventures.
review 2: I expected this to be a wilderness survival guide, and it is in some ways. But more importantly it's a philospphical guide to becoming aware of life as it should be. Today, when most people stare at phones, TV, computer monitors and GPS screens, author Tristan Gooley gently draws readers away from those obsessions with his simple, yet articulate writing voice . The result makes what he says much more important that an electronic device manipulated world. less
