Navigation and Tracking
Wake up your spirit of adventure and learn how to rely on your senses rather than your GPS.
I can give you an in-depth look at land features and natural navigation, as well as how to effectively backtrack if you become lost. I can share techniques that I have used to become ‘unlost’ as well as tracking skills I’ve learned and developed to find animals and water.
Anyone who spends time in the bush should have the vital skills to figure out where they are and where they’re going.
I can teach you about low/high ground and how to keep an eye on weather. Other important skills are making the call at the point where shelter takes precedent over backtracking, and learning how to I.D. animal tracks, locate water and food, as well as choosing potential trap sites for hunting.
These are skills which are vital in survival situations, but can also enhance your leisure time in bushwalks and other nature excursions. And most importantly, it will help you wake up your natural abilities to see, hear, and feel your environment.
Connect to your ancestor’s skills of listening to the animals, the plants, and the land itself. This kind of awareness is your human birthright.
