A great book to start – page after page of advice on what to look for to start your natural navigation journey, together with lots of things to look out for.
One of the most fascinating books I have read in the last couple of years. Understanding how the brain works to find our way and what it does when we get lost.
A harder book to read but worth the effort as it will make you look at trees in a different way
Field Studies Council fold-out guides are amazing for all ages and very cheap—but be warned: there are many, and you will find yourself adding them all to your order. Look out for the bundle deals.
Print your own maps and never get lost, but please don’t use it for navigation – use your own brain, it’s more fun and better for you.
A good quality basic compass is ideal for checking your natural navigation clues. Silva is a trusted brand and this compass has everything you need to get started at a good price.
