    Are you lost in the woods when your smart phone dies? Maps and a compass don't die after a day of constant use, they don't short out when dropped in a puddle, and how well you use them can make your life easy, and possibly even save it. If you are interested in learning, re-learning, or simply polishing up on this essential skill, EMail John Fernandez to reserve your spot. This clinic is free of charge to WSC members.
