Video: What is Orienteering?

Orienteering is an outdoor sport that sends participants out into the backcountry to try to collect as many checkpoints as possible in a set amount of time. It requires speed and quick thinking of course, but above all else, you need to be a good navigator. According to this video, which provides a solid introduction to the activity, a good sense of humor doesn't hurt either.
