Navigation with lensatic compass and map 2

[@jessicaangeli4081]

Very informative, thank you for taking the time to post this information. The LARS rule from the previous video will be a huge help during higher stressed situations.

Wow, thank you very much! This is the best tutorial on this subject I've found.

[@bindlestitch1]

Thank you, my friend!

[@MrBudwv]

Nice one. I'm looking forward to the next lesson. Hows' hand healing up?

[@JustTheJoel]

And there's the answer to my question about what kind of maps those are. Thanks duder. -JP

Great information, THANKS for sharing.

@MrBudwv It's doing better, brother. Thanks for asking. God bless, Iz

Good stuff. Shud u not qualify ur statement about equal distance between all lines? Wud that be true only if you took horizontal distances above the lines? I mean on a slope u have the hypotenuse of a triangle. So 50 feet from line to line, I think, wud be always more than that along the ground, & the more steep the slope, the greater the ground distance. So 50 feet between lines might be easily 70 feet on the ground, night wahr?

+Thunkful2 Yes, of course. This isn't exact science by a long shot. But you should have enough general knowledge of the area and enough common sense to compensate. Also you should use methods to build in intentional offsets so you know you're off and in what direction you are off in. Think of land navigation more as hand grenades and not machinist work.

Thanks, Jessica. Glad to help. Iz

Very much obliged, Jerome. Iz

Super helpful! Thanks :0)

Does not your string against map-scale method of calculating distance neglect the increased ground distance caused by slopes -- your string method giving you imaginary horizontal distance in a horizontal plane above the land? Remember you gots to square the hippopotamus!

[@bindlestitch1]

+Thunkful2 My comment below would be the same answer to this. Exact distances and exact pace counts are never going to happen while navigating with a map and compass. Common sense, terrain association and intentional offsets are all needed to compensate for errors in pace count and distance as well as deviations in heading.

I don't speak or write any other language than English , my friend. And I'm not very good at that.

[@johtajajore77]

are you sure that you should be giving lessons about navigation ? it's been while since I've navigate.... but plenty of stuff you don't need in distances you walking in a day... like orientation of map....

[@bindlestitch1]

The only thing I"m not sure of right now is what you just said. haha. You'll have to make a more coherent sentence for me to be able to answer your question. If you're asking if I know what I'm doing...that's debatable. Try it yourself. Go make a video on this and I'll be glad to learn from you, my friend.
