Navigation is a basic thing that every human needs to know. It is not about technology, society or anything which is needed to be invested. It is all about our surrounding. We have to know the ground we are walking at and we have to understand in which way we have to go.

Before going outside to navigate you need to understand that the ground is made only from four different kinds of surfaces: Channel, mount, descent, saddle.

The world as we know is made only from those surfaces and NOTHING ELSE.

Channel: A channel is basically a way we can go inside which is between two different mounts. In most cases, going inside a channel will be the easiest way we can go in nature, especially if we carry a heavy weight on our back.

Mount: This can be a small hill or even a huge one. A mountain can be whether long or short, it is still called a mountain. When we navigate, we will need to know if we have to climb mounts and which ones, we have to try and find a way we can go while climbing as fewer mountains as we can because it will be super hard.

Descent: It is basically the drop of a mountain. A usual mountain has 4 different descents, one from each direction (North, South, West, East).

Saddle: It is two mounts which have a small drop between themselves. If you stand between them you will see two rises; One for each mountain. And you will see also two drops for the opposite sides.

To conclude,

This is the first navigation lesson I can give you, knowing what the ground is made from is the most important thing. At least, this is what I believe in. I hope it helps!
