I would like to announce the birth of my new "Baby"

[Dave590]

After well over nine months in the works, I would like to announce the forth coming arrival of my "Baby". Before I announce what my "babies" name is...I would like to acknowledge a few of the members of this board for their effort towards the conception.

I will do this alphabeticaly according to screen names. Each of the following people gave their time, effort and expertise towards making this happen, and I owe each of them a debt of gratitude.

Coastie...or "Jim" Thank you for taking your time and effort to make sure that this thing was technically correct.

Logs...or "Bob" Thank you for pitting my writing against your vast "Real" outdoor navigation experience.

vc1111...or "Vince" Thank you for helping me "Keep it real" and not get sidetracked with overcomplicating it...It was the "much to complicated" factor in what was already out there that made me start this endeavor.

Ladies and Gentlemen..........I have written a book.

It is entitled "Don't Get Lost"

It encompasses everything that a novice would ever want to know about navigating in the woods with a GPS, Compass and map, A compass and a map, just a map, or "Oh-Crap" I'm lost with no means of navigation.

After countless editings and modifications this baby is AT the printer being made into a 'sure-enough' book.

Hopefully, you will see it through the on-line version of Barnes and Noble and Amazon . com on March 1'st. It will also be sold through several other online sources...OR,,,of course it can be bought from the source...OffTrail Books.

Congrats Dave & all the uncles here too

A book i should read sometime i think.


Got me a geko for christmas- now i have to learn how to use it l ol ( also to plot some acres/boundrie lines etc too)

Its good to know where you are sometimes- wonder whatever happened to the $50,000 in(millions today) gold coin us army payroll from the 1800,s that went missing not to far away.

cool

Did you address dehydration in your book ?

[Dave590]

Big Country,,,It won't add to the price, But if I ever fool around and "get lost" and die, it would probably make it worth a fortune.

Stealthycat, No...I dedicated only a few paragraphs to things like that. I tried to keep the subject content to navigation only.

Even I didn't know the author I would endorse the book. Well written and very informative.

Every whitetail hunter should have it.
