SUMMARY:Introduction to Map & Compass (Outing) -REI Outdoor School
DESCRIPTION: Join us for an instructional trip to learn how to use a c
	ompass and read a map to truly find your way in the wilderness. We'll 
	teach you the parts of a compass and how to make use of them. We'll ta
	lk about magnetic north\, true north\, and magnetic variation (declina
	tion)\, and help you make sense of it all.  Then we'll learn how to ta
	ke a bearing from the terrain\, and from your map\, so you can triangu
	late your position and plan a route. Speaking of maps\, what do all th
	ose squiggly lines mean? We'll look at topographic maps and learn how 
	to read them to understand your terrain. We'll also discuss strategies
	 such as using "handrails" for "aiming off' to improve the accuracy of
	 your backcountry navigation.  Basics of Land Navigation Class is reco
	mmended (but not mandatory) to get the most from this outing.  Februar
