David Seidman & Paul Cleveland put together an essential guide for todays hunter, backpacker and outdoor enthusiast. The Essential Wilderness Navigator:  How to Find your way in the Great Outdoors, Second Edition is and can be a very important resource to hunters who are headed out into the back country.  This book is only as good as the reader though and must be used as a text book that can be studied practiced and played with on a regular basis to become efficient.

I have had this book for the last year and over the last month I have been pulling it out and picking apart chapter by chapter working to turn it into memory and practice.  The goal is to make a solo trip into the backcountry next year to hunt on my own with a spotting scope, my weapon and a backpack.  Preparing for such a journey is going to be a challenge and I want to be fully prepared because at the end of the journey I am coming home.

Check out this wonderful resource for yourself.
