About this ebook
From the New York Times–bestselling author, "a captivating guide to finding one's way in the wild" ( The Wall Street Journal).
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.
"[A] beautifully written almanac of tips and tricks we've lost along the way." — The Guardian
"A useful owner's manual for anyone who likes to get outdoors and be immersed in something beyond the asphalt." — Kirkus Reviews
Previously published in the UK under the title Wild Signs and Star Paths
