Navigating the Wilderness: A Guide to Basic Survival Skills

Discover essential wilderness survival skills to stay safe in the great outdoors. Learn fire-starting, shelter-building, and water-finding techniques for your next adventure.

Knowing how to navigate the wilderness is key, more than having the right gear. It’s great to have a GPS and lots of batteries, but we can find our way without them. In a disaster, we might have to leave fast with just a few things. Without knowing how to navigate, we could get lost for hours or even days. This guide will teach you the basics of wilderness navigation. It will help keep you safe…

✦ SUN AND SHADOW MASTERLIST ✦

Everything goes wrong for Freya Ula when she leaves her simple life as a fisherwoman to get engaged overseas. Her ship gets wrecked, she finds out her dad's been hiding secrets from her for her whole life, and, oh, she gets framed for a terrorist attack. Wait, WHAT!? After the city's greatest detective is attacked and disappears before she could consult with him, Frey has to enlist the help of his kid and her would-be fiancée to find out who framed her and clear her name. Between Crow's unorthodox detective work, her fiancée's dad being the most convinced of her guilt, the political strife plaguing Lynsmouth, and the looming celestial deadline of a conspiracy's final plan coming to fruition, is there any chance Frey can clear her name?

After reading the tags on your latest post I was wondering if it would be possible for you to make a brief overview of the iffy tropes/details your sensitivity reader helped you pick up on? Of course it wouldn't replace doing research ourselves, but I'd love to hear about it regardless!

Have not run it by them yet because it is in no fit state for human consumption at this point; the tropes are just from reading their blog + others on Tumblr + general Internet research including the excellent "blind people walk you through normal activities from their perspective" videos on YouTube. But off the top of my head:

Face touching. Where the blind person gropes someone's face to see? Sighted people made that up. I rewrote a chapter in Towards the Sun when I realized that one. Which makes sense, because why would a blind person be any more inclined to run their hands all up in your facial juices. Eww.

Negating blindness with magic and pretty much ignoring the blindness henceforth. Which is why Zuko isn't going to learn to see with firebending. There are very interesting discussions on how Toph herself fits and doesn't fit into this trope; finding them is left as an exercise for the reader.

Token blind character, AKA only having one blind person in the narrative who represents All Blind People. Going to have a few blind NPCs running around, with various levels of sight and accommodations, to thoroughly negate this one.

Being Depressed and/or Overly Inspirational about the blindness. AKA character devotes a large chunk of the story to bemoaning their blindness, with bonus inspirational "overcoming" at the end. Think about how it would feel if the majority of characters like you spent vast word counts hating the thing that makes them like you. And then solving it, in a way you can't, so they don't have to have the tragic fate of Being Like You. ...So Zuko is not getting cured, and he's also not wasting much time wallowing in an angst puddle.

Etc.

Basically, I want this to be a story that low vision folks can read and go "that was fun and less offensive than 70% of actual media representations", and sighted people can go "that was fun and hopefully I internalized some positive things that will make me less likely to grab a blind person's arm and forcibly Help Them Cross The Road, Try To Pet Their Dog (and Get Huffy When Asked to Please Not), or Call People Out On Not Being Blind Because They Don't Fit The Stereotypes".

[rbb-travels-of-the-cube]

Hey, Moon, your whole thing with Sun is kinda weird. Would love an explanation for what’s going through your head there.

"What do you mean? We're just friends. There's nothing suspicious about being friends."

"Agreed."

"It's mighty suspicious when there a siren!"

"They aren't a siren!"

"Phh. I don't have enough time to deal with this. I'm going to find out where we are and where to go. I don't want to have that thing on our ship any longer than I have to."

Blue Moon puffs up angrily. Offering a small growl towards moon. It only causes moon to roll their eyes. Although Sun does give them a slightly nervous glance.

"Gahhh. Yeah, no. I don't want to have this argument either."

"The sirens probably just going to go swim and find ta closest port."

Both sun and moon look towards Captain eclipse with discontent. Moon narrowing his eyes while sun rolls his. Moon fixes his wraps angrily and stomps down towards below deck. Sun looking like they want to follow him but instead tapping their feet inpatiently while giving Captain eclipse a glare.

"You have to be by far the rudest person I know of."

"Ya? deal with it. I'm a pirate Sunny. Kind of my job. Know how about you work with ta sails and our new crewmate ta get us going as fast as we can. I'm going to go up towards ta helm. I think around Northwest of here there should be a couple more inhabited islands."

Captain eclipse briskly walks up to the helm. Sun staring angrily after them. Stamping his foot with restrained anger before heading over to the ropes holding the sails. Blue Moon looking around a confused. Still blinded.

Hardwood Backstaff, late 18th century

Backstaffs find altitude by measuring the angle between the horizon and the sun. Unlike previous instruments, however, navigators relied on the sun’s shadow rather than looking directly at it. Navigators could do this using the key parts of the instrument. The shadow vane on the small arc used to cast a shadow; the horizon vane on the larger arc was where you view the horizon; and the sighting vane was the slit the observer would look through. So how does it work?

To use the backstaff, the navigator with his back to the sun, holds the instrument in front of his and places it on his shoulder. To find the altitude, the navigator would move the vanes along the arcs, and view the horizon through a small slit. They would move the shadow vane on the smaller arc until the edge of the vane casts a shadow on the slit of the horizon vane. While doing this, the navigator would also look through a peephole in the vane on the larger arc and through a slit in the horizon vane to view the horizon. This allows the navigator to find the altitude of the sun by viewing the horizon and the sun’s shadow at the same time through the horizon vane.
