Ep. 479: Using Nature to Navigate - Tristan Gooley

Navigation: The only living person to fly and solo sail across the Atlantic reveals how to read nature's hidden signals to find your way through any wilderness without modern technology. Tristan Gooley is a New York Times-bestselling author and an avid outdoorsman. He has led expeditions on five continents, climbed mountains all over the world and is the only living person to have both flown and sailed solo across the Atlantic.After realizing he doesn’t love talking about the gear and “stuff” of expeditions and adventures, he was curious as to why adventure called him so strongly to do these trips. Was it the thrill, the experience, or something else? He eventually realized he loved the act of “finding his way” through Nature using unconventional means, Nature itself. Thus began a lifelong passion for learning how Nature tells us where we are and how to get where we’re going.In his books, you’ll learn how to “read” Nature to find your way. Things like locating north using puddles, finding your proximity to civilization using plants and using the behavior of animals to forecast the weather. Don’t tune out, because Tristan shares why these skills are important for the person who will never be lost in the outdoors.Naturalnavigator.com@NaturalNav on TwitterNew Newest Book: The Nature InstinctSave 20% off the best freeze-dried meals you’ll ever eat with Peak Refuel.
