On Mountain Navigation is an essential skill in the backcountry, whether out for a multi-day mission or a one day adventure. We are lucky with the tech available to make navigating in the backcountry much simpler… but what happens when the batteries run out?
In this episode of How To XV I look quickly at the tech options available, but then look at how to navigate with a map, altimeter and compass, discussing the key points to help you find your way and stay safe. As always, it is great to get out and practice this in safe conditions and an environment you know before heading out into the wilderness.
