Navigating Quickly: S1E8 Green Berets No Nonsense Bug Out | Gray Bearded Green Beret

Dang, you're a good teacher. Whenever I teach others, I'll be very sure to mention GBGB. I wish you great success.

[@truckerenoch8824]

"Ghee" is an outstanding addition to any bug out bag, since fat is the hardest thing to find in the wild. Just make sure you replace it every 5-6 months.

[@wmluna381]

I've considered this. In your experience, is it possible and safe to transfer a smaller amount of ghee to a more portable container without accelerating spoilage? Or would that more depend on the extent and duration of higher ambient temps?

[@camperspecial9666]

This is so important. Anyone who can walk with reasonable ease needs to know how to roll. wether for a big out situation,or you are performing a pre-determined manuver this allows you to have your head on a swivel and cover a lot of ground.

[@greenmansurvival4832]

Last known location, tick of features, hand rails, aiming off, attack points and catching features.....Exactly the same way we teach it in the UK. The most common mistake I see regularly is not orientating the map correctly and contour interpretation. Great presentation as always!

[@santiagogiaccardi5816]

Thanks Joshua, wish you the best

[@sundevil6285]

Thank you

[@bryanschaefers356]

I taught land nav in the Air Force for several years and this is the first time I have seen the sundial on the map for lining it up with north, awesome instruction.

[@heidi22209]

Thanks!

[@TomAustin303]

Thank you - I also hate the word "orientate"!

Good video and tips Joshua , thanks for sharing , God bless !

This should be mandatory for all LT’s in the Army to watch, train on repeat until it’s muscle memory.

[@kevinmurray5606]

So much better than corporals corner this guy can lecture like a professional...

[@asmith7876]

Different styles from Pathfinder School for sure, I can guess they clashed with his laid-back style and he left. Their loss for sure. But Shawn Kelly has some great tutorials on navigating, his older stuff though.

[@djpsy9538]

This is going to sound pathetic now but primarily thank you for watching your channel I set out to learn and teach. Just keep doing things like this should be taught in schools.

[@alisonshanahan9529]

I was taught this in geography at school. I went to a school for young ladies in England, I was also taught how to set a table and write a cheque (1970s).

thank you for sharing with us!! i have been spoiled by GPS, and have forgotten most of this information, please keep sharing more land nav with us!!!

[@tass8495]

Great info. Gives me confidence to move faster... Safe. Waiting for the next Get Home installment! Maybe run your gear through an overnight get home scenario? Keep it all up! Ty!

[@boss302nard]

You could also use the handrail as a parallel. Basically determine the distance from the handrail to the target point and keep that same distance from the handrail all the way to the target point. You will find yourself at the target point as long as your parallel distance is mostly accurate.

Navigation skills are definitely the weakest link in my skill chain, I get lost so hard

[@theaveragewoodsman6002]

I used to be like that. What helped me was taking classes (Pathfinder Basic Survival, ESEE Land Navigation and Field Survival Courses).

[@asmith7876]

I was in the Army in the 80’s before we were at war. Drove around the desert Southwest, Ft. Bliss, NTC, 29 Palms, hard to navigate with hardly any terrain features. You did NOT want to give the response over the radio that you were Lima India Delta. Lost in Desert 😂 but shit happens. Definitely a perishable skill that I have let slip.

[@paulzimmerman3895]

Excellent tips. Thanks for that work.

[@alvindueck2104]

I sometimes use landmarks for navigation on hikes, I'm not tota consumed by some deep interest in navigation, but I AM fairly curious about it. More like, what if I need to navigate without the tools of maps, compasses and such. But I really should get some primal navigational tools and learn my way around them

[@larrywiley1804]

Could you go over the Rosette in another video please.

[@shadowscout9872]

Can't forget about day light savings time

[@MyTube4Utoo]

A 'Flat Earther' in a video comments section was trying to convince me that Earth was flat (they like doing that). He asked, _"well if Earth is a "ball" then why does the needle of a compass always point to the same place?"_ *LMAO* I'm not sure what conspiracy he thought he had uncovered, but he sure thought he was onto something. When I asked, _"are you talking about the _*_MAGNETIC_*_ needle, of a _*_MAGNETIC_*_ compass, pointing to the _*_MAGNETIC_*_ North Pole?"_ I never heard back from him. 🤣

[@GrayBeardedGreenBeret]

😂

[@GoldenGloves1947]

Awesome video that gets into more advanced topics of navigation. Would love to see more tips like this on advanced land Nav from you. Wasn’t able to make it out to your land Nav course a couple months ago. Would happily pay for a video from you that focuses entirely on advanced land nav, although I understand that much more difficult to make than in-person teaching might be.

[@thomasgross8289]

Look up the pathfinder school here on KZbin, David I forget his last name, has sevral land navigation videos that are great along with many other "bush craft, survival" topics. He also is a great teacher and explains things very well.

[@leehrvyoswld]

[@papilurk1675]

Didn't get a good look at the sun dial or how the shadow stick method works.

[@balderhemme241]

You make the circle with 12 top an bottom, 6 left and right. If the time is 3 pm you let the shadow from the stick touch 3 on both sides of the circle an your card points north.

[@wmluna381]

Plenty of other videos out there on that. Watch like 5 in a row and you'll probably get all the details you need. Some people leave out helpful extras so it's better to always watch a handful on any topic of importance. Especially when it comes to compasees and navigation.

[@chiefredbird7315]

Damn good stuff...baseline handrails backstop.ok I can read maps pretty good but I will admit I need practice in real time situations. Navigation is key if you got too bug out. Do you know of any online training that would help improve this skill or a good Navigation book? Much appreciate you. T u

[@bradranks628]

Do you have any mini compass recommendations? I live in Arizona and compasses die in a week from the heat or they just are not durable to carry and store.

[@wmluna381]

I can see how the heat would be a major factor in Arizona, but what exactly happens to yours in their dying on you? Outside of the mini Suunto that many of these guys recommend, there's that pricey Tru-Nord mini brass compass. It's like $90. Have you tried either of those yet?

[@eyeofthetiger4184]

G'day Josh, well presented and explained, as usual, mate. I like to place emphasis on contour lines too, particularly in hilly country, like way points, I'm sure you get my drift. I do carry a MC-2, but what do you reckon about the ol' watch face trick for a quick alternative to the stick type sundial ? Cheers Duke.

[@marka4891]

So, would you necessarily want to put your attack point past your objective and then backtrack? Or are there times where you would want to situate all your handrails/backstops/etc in such a way that you reach the attack point such that your objective is outside all of the above?

[@thehillbillycat4975]

An attack point should be an easily identifiable feature. Situation dependent, in his example, the intersection of the road and pipeline was an easily identifiable spot within the area of his point. Sometimes they are past your point, so you’ll backtrack a little but it makes the navigation ultimately easier

[@OzMan9989]

A word of caution, I feel that inside-handrail areas are great places to get ambushed.

[@mikemasek6249]

Why?

[@kevinmurray5606]

From who Russians

[@bernz0ne]

Sure land Nav is good in all. I would love to travel straight and stay off roads. But if you’re somewhere with lots of private property. You’re crossing on someone’s property. During SHTF times would probably get me killed. I might not be a threat, but someone might see me as one or fair game. That’s what worries me.

[@davishlamburnt3734]

Thanks for the info Joshua. I bought all your films on flash drive and my bugout bag is almost complete. Where in the world did you find that Multicam poncho?
