Hiking, Thriving and Learning in the Great Outdoors\nWe all wish to embark upon great wilderness explorations, but do we have what it takes to understand, survive and thrive in the great out- doors? Are we capable of navigating difficult terrain and unpredictable weather, guided only by signs of nature and some clues around us? Are we prepared to tackle big and small adversities in the absence of doc- tors and hospitals, from sunburns and sprains to hyper- and hypo- thermia?\n\nThis book offers you remarkable insights into nature, such as telling the time by looking at the stars and predicting storms from cloud patterns, and illustrates everything from reading maps to reading rainbows. From material checklists of what to carry-clothes, medicines and food -to a roster of personal traits that will hold you in good stead on the trail, Wilderness Is Us is your definitive guide to exploring and enjoying the outdoors in a safe, responsible and ethical manner. You learn not just about nature but also from nature-lessons that scale-up your leadership abilities and help you change the world for the better.
