Publisher's Synopsis
"A captivating guide to finding one's way in the wild."-The Wall Street Journal
The culmination of everything Tristan Gooley, New York Times-bestselling author of How to Read a Tree and The Lost Art of Reading Nature's Signs, has written so far: How to take what you learn about the outdoors-and make it second nature
Master outdoorsman Tristan Gooley was just about to make camp when he sensed danger-but couldn't say why. After sheltering elsewhere, Gooley returned to investigate: What had set off his subconscious alarm?
Suddenly, he understood: All of the tree trunks were slightly bent. The ground had already shifted once and could easily become treacherous in a storm.
The Nature Instinct shows how we, too, can unlock this intuitive understanding of our surroundings. Learn to sense the forest's edge from deep in the woods, or whether a wild animal might pose danger-before you even know how you know.
