Review: Maybe the Greatest Book on the Outdoors You'll Ever Read - I originally got this book out of the library, but it was so good and was packed with so much information that I bought a copy. In it he describes all kinds of fascinating clues you can observe in the world around you (both in nature and in towns) that lead to interesting deductions. He describes how to find North based on all kinds of different plants, how to understand animal and human footprints, how to read the stars, how to easily calculate the phase of the moon at any future or past date, how to understand development patterns in a city, and on and on. Tristan clearly has gotten plenty of 'dirt time' to refine his observations - this isn't an armchair guy who has just brought together a lot of ideas originally developed by other people. This book has transformed the way I view the world while out in nature.
Review: Great book! - Very informative book, along with pictures and illustrations.

Very informative book, along with pictures and illustrations.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing 👏
*by T***F on March 14, 2021*

Absolutely love this book and the author tristan. He is a very good teacher with loads of intriguing knowledge. I view many things differently in life because of his earthy teachings. If you're eager to learn and have a love for our beautiful earth and/or travel in any sense. You will learn so much and enjoy his books. This book is very detailed including many photos with directions. He put alot into making it as if you're in a class room. It has a very soft paper back cover and it's full of 383 pages as well as an additional section for an index to help you.
