Are you paying attention to the landscape around you? Can you explain the differences and changes you observe?
Although it may seem foreign to many of us in the modern world, people around the globe have navigated for centuries using the clues found on the natural landscape around them.
In this episode I chat with Tristan Gooley who has made it his work learning and teaching how to interpret the signs we see. Or indeed, the signs we don’t see, but are there if we learn to pay attention. We discuss good starting places for getting involved, why natural navigation (and nature awareness in general) opens you up to a deeper connection and fulfilling experience during your time outdoors, and how Tristan continues to practice and learn.
I also highly recommend grabbing a copy of Tristan’s books if this episode interests you! Even if you’re a seasoned outdoorsman I know you’ll still learn plenty from them!
