Excellent book to get started. In preparation for last years SAC, my teamie and I got us a nav coach. Retired SF type. He taught us a ton .

My best advice failing that is to start by walking some trails that show on your maps. Use all the tricks you know about terrain association to keep track of your progress on the trail. Ten or twenty miles of that and you'll have a bare bones basis.
