LAND NAVIGATION and ORIENTEERING

Find Your Way Through the Woods!

Having traveled on countless expeditions for recreation and as outdoor adventure leaders, our instructors are experienced in using conventional map and compass as well as new technologies for orienteering and land navigation. We continue teaching these skills to anyone interested in becoming comfortably familiar with tools essential for a safe and enjoyable outing.

Natural Awareness Tracking School offers first-class presentations to you and your group covering the following topics:

Orienteering, Lensatic or Hybrid Compass Selection and Use
Map reading of USGS Topographical and Other Maps
Land Navigation and Orienteering,
Route Planning,
Declination,
Triangulation, and most importantly
How to use these skills in the field for day hikes or long-range outings

Private (one-on-one) or small group workshops can be arranged here or in your area by contacting us for more information

Classroom instruction and a field trip will provide an opportunity to practice learned skills. Rob has taught boy scout troops, currently instructs map and compass to search and rescue volunteers and regularly teaches a class for the public in Blacksburg, Virginia through the YMCA.
