Step 7Conclusion
Woot! Hopefully you just learned four new skills. I'm not an expert, but those few things are enough to keep most people out of trouble.
The easiest place to practice is around home... it may be worth finding a partner to check on your work. If you head out to the wilderness, find a spot where you can pick out a bunch of landmarks. Shoot them with the compass, then compare your bearings to the actual bearings on the map.
I'd love input on this instructable, I plan on using this as a base to build on other topics, like map reading, advanced compass use, and map in hand with GPS.
Remember the best way to avoid getting lost is to stay found. Have fun!

If you're serious about the outdoors, the book is a great reference.
