Adventurist
My brother, JP, has a great idea for an Adventurist Life story. He and I try our hand at land navigation, then take a training course and go back out to see how the knowledge changes the experience.
My questions for the experienced:
1. How do we baseline our skills? I'm thinking a 2-3 day hike in the woods; maybe drive to a campsite, then set off on foot to hike a loop to a couple landmarks we saw on Google maps. All under the umbrella of linked repeaters for emergency radio contact if necessary, of course.
2. Where might a couple phoenecians of limited means find this kind of training? Maybe there's a guide on the area up for a little horse trading?
3. What do you think would make for the most meaningful story, here? We know we're going to learn something valuable. We know we're going to have fun. How can we make this little project something remarkable for folks who weren't there with us?
Thanks!
