Orienteering is the art of traveling overland using a compass and a map
Orienteering is a fun way to learn about maps, outdoor survival and also nature itself, be sure to always carry extra water when hiking.. I went through a 30 day course in the Army, great stuff, I feel confident hiking anywhere.
