S kills & Equipment

The right clothing and equipment and the skills to use them properly are essential to making adventures in the great outdoors as safe and enjoyable as possible.

Navigation

Heading out into high, remote and weather-affected places is part of many great adventures, but if navigation goes wrong the consequences can be serious. Throughout the book weve indicated when good navigational skills are necessary, and wed highly recommend learning the skills even if you have a GPS device. Basic maps are included for adventures where we judged this most useful, but these are no substitute for the relevant full-detail mapping.
