The book also covers practical skills. Young readers learn how to navigate and what to do if they get lost, what essential hiking equipment to bring, how to leave no trace and protect the environment, and how to handle going to the toilet in the woods. It also explains how to stay safe in heat, snow and rain, how to be fire-safe and set up camp, how to deal with wildlife encounters, and how to find the North Star and read the night sky.

Iron Tazz draws on years of hiking every kind of trail and on outings with his own young son. The book is full of kid-friendly tips and tricks for enjoying nature and learning to hike your own hike.
