You got this! If you haven’t, check out my other content in my navigation playlist. Just remember to double check your work, preset your compass, and trust your pace count. If you have any questions, let me know!

So if your azimuth is below 180 degrees you go counter clockwise and if it's greater than 280 you turn clockwise?

thanks for sharing. i have to admit your daytime use video that you were aiming at a post made sense to me. this one i had no idea what the math was for. i may never have to use a compass and at 45 yrs old i have not. lol. but im gonna watch this one again and see if i can put together the terminology and reasons for the math. and believe me no disrespect, just chiming in. i've learned many things on this here youtube!

First and foremost thank you for your service. I was a Marines and i gotta say your version of land navigation makes more sense. I think i just needed more practice and one on one time. The USMC is definitely in short supply of both. lol Anyways I’ve watch probably four of your videos which i love. But only one skimmed over declination. And I feel that is a crucial part of land navigation. If you haven’t done a video on it there should be one. My question is how do you find your declination without a map or something like that to tell you. Again thanks for the great videos.

Shaun, thanks for comments and sharing some time with me. Semper Fi- 95-03! Been in the Army since 2010. It’s the same, young troopers need more time, I do what I can. Planning a video on declination as well! Stoker

When you use the bezel ring and you rotate to line up the North seeking arrow, doesn't the North seeking arrow always point North? Please explain what is going on with the arrow. Your video is the most informative, but I am still confused.
@STOKERMATIC
@STOKERMATIC 3 жыл бұрын
Ernesto, good question. I’ll try to work up another vid in response but here’s the breakdown Step 1 - face the direction you want to go Step 2 - rotate the bezel ring so the tritium marker is inline with the north seeking arrow Step 3 - move and ensure those two markers from step two stay aligned Because the north seeking arrow is always going to face north, we can use that to our advantage, because there is a fixed black index line - call it our 12 o’clock - and when the compass is preset it will help keep us moving straight. Hope that helped friend!

@STOKERMATIC Ok so dumb question lol in lieu of doing the math can I use the same method as you demonstrated during the day in which you align the fixed index line with your magnetic azimuth then rotate the bezel tritium marker to align with the north seeking arrow?

Not dumb at all. Yes you can. The purpose of the technique in this video is for when you can’t see the readings.

Hey Stoker, really appreciate your nav vids (it's all I've had time to watch). Can you tell me the title and /or name or provide a link of the framed poster over your left shoulder. I saw the word "Definition" and some of what looks like the ranks, but couldn't see enough to do a google search to locate the poster / picture to obtain one. Thanks in advance.

How do you know whether to rotate the bezel ring clockwise or counterclockwise?
@STOKERMATIC
@STOKERMATIC 4 жыл бұрын
Zara, great question! That would depend on which direction you were trying to go. If you had to change directions and the new azimuth was higher than your current one, you would turn it clockwise. Counterclockwise if it was less. I hope that helps! If not, check out one of my other compass videos that goes in depth on the features and operations of a compass - or - leave a follow up question and I'll try again! Stoker

Zara! 1st - thank you! 2nd OH NO! I hate that nobody has instructed you well. When you use the bezel ring to preset your compass it changes everything and makes it so much easier!! Especially at night! Glad the content had been helpful
