Hi. You explained it so well that I will take the risk of sounding stupid with this question of mine. Can the campass be used in the same way if the map is a more common city map. I have an Atlast of all USA states. Would I use it the same way? Thank you.
@CEPrepper5 жыл бұрын
American Citizen 1986 city map is a little easier. You can use the scale for distance and get your general bearing off the roadways. US Highways and Interstates use (generally) odd numbers NS and even numbers EW. So you put your compass down to show you which direction to orient your map, verify it matches a know direction on the map. EX. Map on the ground, rotate map to magnetic North, needle aligns in roughly same direction as I-5 on west coast or maybe I95 east coast. Then plot your course using roadways as backstops. Estimate your distance using the scale. Good luck! God bless!

For all of you people out there that don't already understand this stuff... THIS VIDEO is the one. Study, learn, practice. Practice again. Learn. This was the video I was wanting to see. Where he ties it all together. (And I am sure there are hundreds if not thousands of videos covering the same stuff, I just like how this guy teaches, talks and his demeanor.) This, along side with accurate pacing, a good compass, a good map, a little situational awareness and a tiny bit of common sense and you will never be lost again. As an aside to the map comments from very early in the video. If your map doesn't have the grid, magnetic and true north listed. Get a better map. Period. Trimble Outdoors has went out of business (at least as far as their cell phone app is concerned.) But I loved their maps for all reasons listed in this video. Make sure your map and compass are good quality, and practice your pace count under load as his other videos say. Outstanding video my friend! Two thumbs up!

Compass presented here is a very good make and model. I have been using it constantly with and without maps while hiking in new and old terrain over past few years. I love the accuracy and ergonomics and multi-use nature of it. Make sure you study it's documentation thoroughly. Watch all the YT videos on its use. Practice with a topo map of your town with it before risking it in the wilds. Practice a lot before going to nature lest you get lost. And since it has multiple uses, treat it as a book rather than a hammer. You understand more of the material by rereading the book from time to time. Learn, practice and relearn by constantly giving yourself time using and pushing the compass to its limits. And it will be your best friend in the wilds. Together with a map it can lead you out of the wilds and back to town if you get lost! Happy hiking !

There are actually some great free apps out there to help practice this in any area around you. My favorite is Polaris Navigation, it allows you to overlay several types of map, such as a topo map, grid map and satellite map in layers that can be removed one, or more, at a time. You can also download large areas to have with you if you don't have cellular service. But you can print the maps out. However, in case you do begin to get lost, or are just practicing, it has live GPS to guide you! There are a wealth of these apps for free on play store, usually under GPS apps, or more commonly on hunting apps. I have many, but Polaris Navigation has the most map overlay types, I believe 12 for free and 20 plus for a small fee. It's just nice to know while practicing, that you have a safe backup. Hope this helps!

The map and compass lessons for them still have an effect daily.

Even on videos where I'm pretty familiar with the subject, I always learn something new from your videos. In this case, your notes were organized better than I'm used to doing, and I will be copying your level of detail for them in the future. I learned this stuff in the civilian world with some cut corners, but I really appreciate the way your notes for route planning put in the "hard work" up front while you're safe, warm, and clearheaded, so you can't mess up when you're tired, cold, scared, or otherwise operating at less mental capacity out in the wilderness. I also learned a couple new terms for topgraphic features. As always, presented with clarity in a straightforward no-nonsense manner. I will certainly be putting this to practice soon in the field as I've made it my goal this year to get much better at off-trail hiking and camping. Your videos are very much a part of my prep work, so thank you for continuing to put out such high quality content.

This is a great video. As a surveyor we use bearing and azimuth a bit differently. Azimuth bearing is just azimuth and bearing is quadratic bearing to us. Even having hiked many woods taking survey measurements in distances (ft) and HZ/ V angles ( deg.min.sec.) to develop topographic maps. I still learned a lot. Thanks for sharing this info. It seems to have faded a bit with us younger surveyors. I enjoy picking up a plan marked up by an old timer and seeing magnetic bearings to and between property corners called out with possible locations of magnetic interference throughout the property.

I have done some deer hunting in the Sierra Nevada mountain in California. Both with a partner and alone. And I have somehow been able to find my way back to camp. I don't know how. When we were kids we used to try and get lost in the corn fields. We never got lost. The only time I ever got nervous was at a time my knee was really bothering me and I walked down something really steep. It was too painful to walk back up (I didn't realize it would be). I ended up walking farther around through brush at lesser angle and found an old road that I couldn't see. The road actually took me back to the road my truck was parked on.

Every time I watch this I get something else out of it. When I was in Grade school one of the things we had to do as part of our Phys Ed class was orienteering. They took us to a local conservation area in winter and we chose either snow shoes or x-country skis, and we were given a map and baseplate compass and off we went. Finding the first location, where we would get a new set of coordinates and so on and so on. I loved it. I really believe this should still be part of school...mandatory

Love the video. Very detailed and just long enough (with examples) and not too short. I like how you don't assume anyone watching has any experience. The video allows more experienced users to skip ahead if they need to. So thank you. Definitely one for the saved video category.

Great presentation. Will you be doing how to find your position within the specified grid box?

This video coupled with your land navigation video are two of the best videos on this topic that I have seen and I’ve been looking for a while. Clear, concise presentation and extremely easy to follow. I needed this type of explanation as a young cavalry scout. Thanks for providing it 36 years after the fact. Truly appreciate it.

Glad I found this again, just taught my 9 year old to do map+compass navigation. Best navigation series I've found on the internet.

38 years old and never learned any of this as a kid. You’re the first time I’ve heard any of this that it made sense.

You explain it all so simply that a complete newbie like me can understand it. THANK YOU so much!! I have watched other videos but you make it so much easier for me to follow and grasp what you are explaining. Thanks again and PLEASE keep posting your videos.

I've seen a few land navigation videos. This was, by far, the most useful that I've watched. Thank you very much for taking the time to teach and not just show. It would be great if you took a small trip in the field incorporating all of these things just to re-enforce the underlying skills. Many, many thanks.

Very interesting. I was a land surveyor and loved map reading and drafting. Superior intel!!! My former boss was one of the few who surveyed rivers and streams here in Texas.

Thank you for the great video. It is crazy that so many people who venture into the wilderness don't even know the basics of land nav.. Thanks for your time!

Just bought the Sunnto MC 2. Was going to teach my kids how to use a compass. My wife, who knows everything, (She's Danish), said it's a waste, she just uses Google maps to get where she's going. These Europeans get triggered when you say "shoot an Azimuth"
