It Doesn't Have To Be Hard

[@danielsmith4090]

Very cool Stoke. Now I got a way to entertain myself when fish don't bite

[@Old-man-of-the-forrest]

Great video Stoker, I enjoyed it very much. These are the things I used to stress to my troops when giving them land nav instructions. I am trying to pass it on to my grandkids now. Your instructions were right on track. Stay stoked Top.

Thank you very much for finally including an actual training video on your channel. I was beginning to worry that we had already learned all there was to know. At least now I can get back to learning how to master my craft.

[@Jigoat]

Excellent video.

THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@terrycheek4097]

This is a good project for me to use as therapy from my coming back surgery.

[@STOKERMATIC]

Hope it goes and heals quickly!

lol like marking your property lines on a 10 to 100 acres that is how i did it

[@Brett235]

I would like to learn how to know how to navigate without technology, because we never know when that will become unavailable. Learning how to move and navigate without a compass or GPS is crucial in a grid down situation, if we decide to move that is.

[@STOKERMATIC]

Indeed!

[@outdoorvideoswithbrad]

I’ve explored all the mountains around me, and I don’t carry a compass, I just go out randomly and go the general way back lol, I use land marks or ridge lines and sometimes I follow streams/creeks so there’s no way to get lost, just follow it back, no way to learn then just going out and knowing the land around you, me and my buddies have a saying “you never get lost, it’s just an adventure” haha

[@Brett235]

@@outdoorvideoswithbrad I've been lost hunting before and that's what I did. I know where North is and I knew that my truck was south east. It was getting dark so I followed the sun as far as I could and followed the creek back to the black top road. I was about 3 miles from my truck..lol I was squirrel hunting and wasn't paying attention to where I was until it started getting really dark in the woods. Thankfully I was prepared to stay in the woods if I had to.

[@outdoorvideoswithbrad]

@ h e c k ya man, don’t worry I’ve done the same except I was just hiking, in my area I know if i follow a stream down the mountain I’ll hit a road eventually lol, or just simply walking down the mountain, and give me a general idea, what did our ancestors do? On long hunting trips, not like they could afford or obtain a compass, to be honest a compass would just make me get lost lol, I can read and make maps tho, I realize it depends on your territory, but I’ve been to new places and just did the same things

Honing your skills should always involve 50% fundamental, 35% intermediate and 15% advanced exercises (assuming of course that you've mastered the easier tasks). You can always practice reminding yourself of the simple bits so that you _can't_ forget them when you're distracted.

Ah, so you're the one littering up the woods! Be honest the dogs will take you home so everything else is just for show.

[@mstowcoping9245]

Enough, enough, enough! Of this survival stuff! Go do something productive like taking care of your grandchildren!

[@BoomerChimichanga]

how better to take care of my grandchildren than teaching them how to survive and thrive, come what may?

[@mstowcoping9245]

@@BoomerChimichangaWrong, this is a waste of time. How about teaching them how to invest? Start a college fund? Financial literacy. Something that will actually benefit them in the long run, not Rambo fantasies.

[@BoomerChimichanga]

@mstowcoping9245 that you think it's an either-or proposition is troubling.

[@mstowcoping9245]

@@BoomerChimichanga Look man, my parents gave me music lessons, I excelled and received a full ride scholarship. A complete waste of time, but even this is more beneficial than land navigation. Another example show your grandkids how to sharpen a chainsaw chain or axe, maintain tools, car repairs, all these are necessary skills that I use constantly and save money and do it right myself. Not trying to knock you, but some skills are just worthless. Now if people in conflict zones like Ukraine, Russia, Palestine, Israel watched I could see it benefit them, but then again I’m sure they have military trainers teaching them that knowledge. All I’m saying is we have a limited time in this earth and we can’t waste time on skills we will probably never use, theirs way more actual skills out their to learn plumbing, carpentry, automotive, auto body, Investing, Electrical, ect. All of which will benefit you and your grandchildren for a lifetime.

[@BoomerChimichanga]

@@mstowcoping9245 I'm laughing...you sound just like every dumb ass we've had to rescue because they got lost in the woods or out on the plains (usually because of their GPS). But don't worry, we'll just leave you for the coyotes. Learning to find your ass with both hands is one of those basic skills you should learn before opening mouth and inserting foot.

[@michaelraines93]

my friend taught me to pace count around home or camp during daylight. he could take off at a dead run at night and vanish in any direction without running into anything because of preps being done and memorized. .
