“…All the navigation information I require is in here – no other resource is required. I am a better navigator and better navigation teacher thanks to this text. I know of no other book of this kind in this country.”
“Finally there is a comprehensive Navigation Workbook that can be applied to local conditions. I found the book easy to use and had a level of progression and incremental stages of learning that catered for the complete novice. The chapter evaluation sheets were topically relevant and is a useful method to test the knowledge of the students after each chapter. The book is a phenomenal piece of work and covers all aspects of teaching navigation and more.”
Having trained our SWAT team in land navigation for almost 15 years. I have had a tendency to buy books on the various subjects I teach just to make sure I have the answers or resources to answer any of my team mates questions. If I was to recommend one book for someone interested in Land nav it would be this book! This book takes you from beginner to expert. All you have to do is spend the dirt time practicing the techniques. Land nav is a perishable skill but if you practice you will stay sharp and always find your way!
“I taught all skills for our Emergency Response Team. I researched every skill that I taught. During this I have bought just about every book on land navigation. Hands down Navigation Anyplace Wild is the absolute best book on navigation!!! I highly recommend it to anyone who spends time in the outdoors. It could save your life !!!!!!”
“…an invaluable teaching aid for outdoor instructors and Geography teachers…this book is an excellent product, condensing virtually everything one would want to know about navigation in our mountains, into one, user friendly, volume, and I, for one, will refer to this book often in the future.”
The sections on “Restricted Visibility Navigation” and the many practical outdoor tips add value to this manual. This manual would be treasured by youth (scouts, guides), hikers, outdoor instructors, adventure racers and guides. As a colorful, well-presented manual it would also wonderfully complement a school geography class; then perhaps more children will find map and compass work less daunting?”
“I had the original version of Andrew’s navigation workbook and found it a tremendous resource for both myself and my mountaineering students. The new, updated version of the workbook is even better; offering some of the most comprehensive, concise and clear information available on the topic and the only up-to-date book of its kind.
The workbook format is very functional ensuring that you fully understand each chapter before moving on to the next. This book is a most valuable resource for mountaineering instructors, teachers, adventurers and anyone needing to navigate in the wilderness.
"Despite being an office bound doctor I try to get away as often as I can to more exotic places such as Gorongoza, Mulanje or Madagascar. In all these outings navigation is critical, and for a part timer like myself it is easy to forget the skills, hence an easy to use practical hands on manual like this has been invaluable."
"As a Navigation and Survival lecturer I have found the text: “Navigation, Anyplace Wild” to be an extremely valuable resource. I have been able to use the text to refresh my skills (and learn some new ones) and to teach my students; some of whom had never seen a map before. This book is simply written so as to be easy to follow for self study and is easy to adapt for use as a teaching tool. All the navigation information I require is in here – no other resource is required. I am a better navigator and better navigation teacher thanks to this text. I know of no other book of this kind in this country."
