My primary navigation is done on a GPS/phone app but I typically carry a compass and map while hiking or hunting for backup in less familiar areas. I feel that I could make it work but am looking to strengthen my orienteering skills. Anyone have any suggestions for books or other training materials for orienteering?

Thanks,
Tom

This is a good start. Lots of other stuff out there on youtube as well. You might also check to see if there is an orienteering club near you. They setup nav courses that are pretty fun, though it is more off of features and headings vs plotting coordinates.

Thanks for the info. HPG video is a good intro; covers the basics.

I’ve got the book in my cart.
