This manual provides you with land navigation technical expertise and best practices learned through years of experience. Our approach for The Project is always realistic and delivered to you in the context of the "typical" American dad, mom, daughter, or son. This is written in a straightforward, no fluff manner. We focus on the realistic navigation skills that will apply to conditions you are likely to encounter. This is a practical, high odds use case manual for the normal human. We built this for you to use as a foundation reference - it is detailed and straightforward. This manual is laser focused on the foundational land nav skills you need in the real world; this is the essential Land Navigation instructional manual from The Professional Citizen Project series of books. This is a holistic, thorough primary land navigation reference you can use to learn and teach others. There is something primitive about it. The sense of pride and the visceral reaction when you step out of the woodline after a long movement and your objective is exactly where you knew it would be. It may be an orange and white control marker, the trail head parking lot where you left your truck, or an obscure piece of defensible ground where you set your patrol in for the night. The respect for those who can successfully find their way across the terrain is as old as mankind itself. Outdoor and military professionals pride themselves on it; those who cannot nav are in the "I would never follow him" category. It takes study and a lot of on the ground practice - but anyone can become an expert at this. Becoming a proficient navigator is founded in process, attention to detail, and confidence in your abilities built over time. The confidence gained by successfully navigating the dark woods alone at night with only a compass, map, and protractor is seldom matched. Full color pages containing tons of diagrams, illustrations, and examples packaged in our standard Citizen manual size that is easy to slip in a backpack or cargo pocket (5.5 x8.5 inches)
