Land Navigation Kit

This is my kit for anytime I'm doing Land Navigation. It gives me multiple options for any method I want to use. What items do you like to use for land navigation?

Something I've always added to any topo map is a magnetic north line across the entire map. It's a big help in orienting the map in the field to actual ground. Hope this helps.. Stay safe out there....

[@charlesgillette2925]

In a word outstanding .I like the way you present this. Land navigation is not the complicated monster most make it out to be.

[@upcycle.outdoorsman9629]

Haha. Yeah, I don't think it is, but I was in the military before widespread use of GPS. Some people are very good at it, and most will get you lost, or wet, or 'cliff'd out', or just frustrated.

[@charlesgillette2925]

@@upcycle.outdoorsman9629 Yes Sir That is the truth. I was also in the military long before gps . Did a course at ft. Indian town in pa. Got so lost, but found a known location shot the azimuth to where i should be. After that i understand land navigation. Good times

[@michaelbevan1081]

I’m definitely looking forward to that series

[@eyeofthetiger4184]

G'day Paul, pretty well sums it up I reckon, good stuff. I do like to use copies, (or part copies), of maps out in the field; you can draw all over the copy and the "master" remains pristine and of course you can transfer key info onto the master later if necessary. Cheers Duke.

[@adaptablesurvival]

That's a great idea!

[@nudge2626]

Only thing I would add is a laser range finder. I map historic mining areas. Makes getting accurate distances for surveying to waypoints so much easier. Only other thing is orange flagging tape for marking/blazing trails. Can even follow a creek or track with the tape and using the range finder accurately plot the course. But great kit.

[@adaptablesurvival]

Both great suggestions!

[@ninjasquirrels]

Those RITR zippered notebooks are great - I use mine as a logbook for my LR rifle, I just order new pages from Impact Data Books as I use them…keep the old pages in a random little file cabinet box at home. Check them out, you’ll find a use for them all the time, just grab whatever pages you want to use for whatever application you need them for.

[@adaptablesurvival]

Thanks! I'll check those out.

[@jgn2112]

Thanks, Paul, for always uploading great content!

[@nauticalknotcraft]

I like the redundancy in these kits. Cool ranger beads. Good video, clear and simple. Thanks.

[@J-Morrison]

Thank you, your presentation and straight-to-the point style is appreciated --inform, instruct, inquire and respond. You're in my top 10 "watch these first" list. 👍

[@JJ-JOHNSON]

Thanks Paul, I will enjoy this series.

[@MrLandphill]

Thanks for all the great videos.

[@MichaelR58]

Good kit , thanks for sharing ,God bless !

[@dominikguzman]

A neat pouch for a notebook, must say.

[@adaptablesurvival]

Just handy to keep everything in one place.

[@ExpeditionaryJonny]

Thanks Paul! Those are great little kits. I've got a nice container for storing stuff at the house but need to grab some pouches like those too keep things straight in the pack. Thanks for putting this together & sharing!

[@alanrice39]

Nice nav kit, I’ll be looking for your series.

[@kidbach]

Nice nav kit. Thanks for sharing.-Scout

[@Soli_Deo_Gloria_.]

Joseph over at Survival Living left a link for this video. He said you were his instructor at Pathfinder, needless to say I subbed... God bless you and yours brother

[@Stoney_AKA_James]

Good kits Paul

[@DisabledPrepper]

Excellent kit, same as mine! I just have post it notes, index cards, and clear post it notes for use in tracing, in addition. Loving the videos!

[@plgard]

Organized and prepared! 👍🏻 Sucker for the DAKA Pouches!

[@adaptablesurvival]

This was the first one I bought. I was instantly sold!

[@stacywilliams1710]

Good job Sir

[@johnburgin7478]

Thanks for sharing

[@TorArneHegna]

I haven't seen any film about it on KZbin in English, but there is a preferred way of folding your map so you easily can access any area. I have made a video about it in Norwegian, but it's without subtitles. Anyway, you might be familiar with it. If so, it could be a nice idea for a following up video.

[@gideonrrr2785]

Me podrias facilitar el enlace al video del llegado del mapa?... Aunque no tenga subtítulos, si de verdad bien, seguro que puedo aprender!... 😉😉

[@TorArneHegna]

@@gideonrrr2785 el video no es muy bueno, pero buena suerte: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mXraZap6mt6La5Y

[@PreppingWithSarge]

Good stuff. I’d like to retake my land navigation class, it’s been too long and I am sure I have forgotten stuff

[@AdventureOtaku]

I know you use a mechanical pencil, but dump the carpenters pencil and try the black wing 602. You may even use it instead of your mechanical. It’s that good.

[@adaptablesurvival]

I'll have to check that out. Thanks!

[@garyjohnson4608]

The pens you mention in the video I've never heard of them or seen them. Are they a type of specialized pen used specifically for navigation ?

[@adaptablesurvival]

They are just fine point pens.

[@ninjasquirrels]

The brand he is referring to is STAEDTLER, solid little map markers but there’s plenty of other options out there; I personally use Sharpie brand, cheaper so I save a few dollars and they’re also able to write on glass, concrete etc…I just use hand sanitizer on a piece of rag/napkin or something like that as an eraser, very convenient. Sharpies also work on skin should you ever need to mark down things like times if tourniquet was applied and whatever.

[@eyeofthetiger4184]

G'day mate, I wouldn't worry so much about brand, just make sure the ink is @ least very resistant to water damage. Cheers Duke.

[@eyeofthetiger4184]

@@ninjasquirrels G'day mate, yep a sharpie and a clutch pencil @ minimum IMO. Cheers Duke.

[@ninjasquirrels]

@@eyeofthetiger4184 yup, let’s just say that pencils very seldom freeze up in cold weather… I always carry 1x Sharpie, 2x black ink pens and 2x pencils with my RITR spiral notebook in my little 18L EDC pack. Something to consider.

[@wascalywabbit]

I learned compass and map reading from my scout troop and my grandfather taught me with a WW2 compass with the compass card... But what I don't understand with your kit is the beads... How do you use those... I don't get it

[@johnsinclair3067]

They are to keep track of your pace count the lower group of beads equal 100m each and the upper beads equal 1000m. They fit very snug on the cord so they stay where you slide them. So once you hit your hundred meter pace count, slide a lower bead down. When you get to your waypoint, reset your beads and start your count to the next waypoint.

[@adaptablesurvival]

John hit it right on the head!

[@wascalywabbit]

@@johnsinclair3067 right on..

[@upcycle.outdoorsman9629]

Pace counts. If you do this in a meaningful way, you should check your pace counts over different terrain types. Not very many are going to have the same pace count across dense vegetation or terrain with steep elevation change as they would with a packed surface road or trail. This takes practice, and it is a very individual measurement. Snow shoes will probably change your count a bunch too...hahaha.
