Navigation, a key skill
I enjoy map reading, it is an important skill anyone who ventures off the beaten track should understand.
Navigation is usually taught as a hill skill, using:
Map.
Compass.
Pacing.
Timing.
But there is another side to navigation that rarely gets discussed.
Navigation errors are a potential medical risk.
When people get lost, small problems quickly become serious incidents.
Not because the terrain changed.
But because the situation has changed.
