    Comments about Finding Your Way in the Wild: An Easy Step-By-Step Guide to Using a Map and Compass:

    The DVD is very informative and easy to follow. The video is a little dated and the actors look like they're straight out of a 70's p...uhh, nevermind...GREAT DVD!

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
