Occasionally we hear an old

Sports Afield magazine: Always
keep track of the directions and
distances of your wanderings. You

requires that attention be given
to directions and distances. but
after time it becomes automatic.
Actually. this rule may be trans

also involves remembering how

ON cloudy day Or night. when
there are no recognizable land
marks. Put one of those guys who
boast that they have compass in
their heads adl-ift in a small boat
on a large lake in a fog, and see
where he comes out!
Knowing how to gauge distance
is very important if you are not
to get lost. In most rough Coun-
tries the distance you travel in
anv recorded direction is best kept
track Of by time On level ground
and a good trail you cover about
three miles in an hour. AS the
