Map Reading and Land Navigation FM 3-25.26

I spend a great deal of time in the woods, and have read many books on land navigation (orienteering). There are better and worse, but this one is the best I have read so far and is really on the money. It seems that most of the navigation books are written by people who spend more time learning to write than to navigate. Nothing wrong with that, since I know I don't write the best, but I do know how to navigate. I haven't been lost more than two or three times in about the last five years, and when I was, I just followed the basic rules (find a creek and follow it downstream, or a powerline, etc.) and got out in a couple days. This is the best book on navigation.
