Book Reviews of Staying Found: The Complete Map and Compass Handbook

Book Review: In response to others
Summary: 4 Stars

I agree, the method of drawing lines on maps is egregiously flawed. For one, you must keep drawing lines on your map every year to change with declination. For every degree of error in calculating declination you can expext to miss your target by 1/60 of your distance travelled. Having said this, Fleming presents the material in an easy to understand format. She will help you to become a more confident backcountry traveller. Better to know what you are doing instead of drawing lines.
