You're looking up for deadfall and windowmakers, anything that can come crashing down on you. Orienteering is another really good way for many people to start and there's lots of groups that run orienteering in most cities. And you'll learn also contour lines and elevation and all those things from the relative safety of a marked trail. You can start out by navigating map to ground on marked trails, and lining up features and trails as you come across them onto the map. Natural navigation will naturally force you to pay more attention to your surroundings and give you a good second and third method of orientating yourself for less detailed terrain. Natural navigation is a great way to start learning even on marked trails because it's enjoyable to find and identify these things without getting too technical. In addition there are various ways to use natural navigation to identify your cardinal directions, or following water courses. So first, yes you need to teach yourself to use a map and compass or do a course to learn those skills. There are GPS trackers and other devices which are good for checking your position, but shouldn't really be used to plan and tell you where to go. Of course having the skills to use tools like a map and compass takes time to learn, but they are essential when navigating off trail. If you can’t find a planning document or it doesn’t answer the questions you have about a specific park, call the rangers directly – they may be able to recommend less sensitive areas that are more suitable for wilderness camping. These are invaluable for planning your trip and figuring out what you can and can’t do.
Examples might include wild or bush camping, self supported hiking, low impact camp fires, off trail camping etc. The Plan of Management will declare activities that are allowed. Don’t listen to other hikers and campers, get first hand information. The ONLY way to do this is to go directly to the authorities.
