No Map No Problem Part 3 Height and Distance

[@davidbruceclark]

These No Map No Problem videos should be shown to kids doing algebra at school. Happy New Year to you and your family Dave!

[@1anthonybrowning]

This is the best use of applied geometry I've seen in a long time!

[@christophermetz1550]

The no map no problem series is one of the coolest you've done yet, Dave. I knew virtually nothing about how to use a compass or how to navigate, and don't know anyone else that does very well either. Keep this series going! Thanks!

[@calebperez331]

Man, these "No Map No Problem" videos are awesome. This makes navigation and measurements SO simple and understandable. Makes me want to go out and try it even more than I already do. Makes pre-calc seem pointless

[@casius00]

I have to agree with Bryan (Survival On Purpose) that was the best explanation I have ever seen. P.S. I have three kids ages 13 to 23 and they have, like so many others, grown up in the age of technology and instant gratification. We have done all we can to educate them and I wanted to let you know that your videos have been a big part of the education process. I started watching back when you posted your Tom Brown Tracker video. My family and I have been watching and learning with you ever since. Thank so much Dave!

Putting Geometry to real life uses with Dave Cantebury :)

[@KingsBar69]

Thanks Dave, this is actually very useful. My friend is in the tree business and I am sure he is not aware of this. I will be sharing it with him very shortly.

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

Dave, I have been teaching the same principles to Boy Scouts for many years and that is, without a doubt, the clearest explanation of how to estimate height and distance I have ever heard. And I have to say, using the clinometer (is that the correct word?) is a new one for me. Now I need to check my compass (Suunto MC-2) to see if it has one. Thanks for all the great videos. Happy New Year! Bryan

[@DavidCanterbury]

Yes it does have brother

[@SurvivalOnPurpose]

***** good deal.

[@EmanP223]

Dave you are doing a major service to all people everywhere. Thank you very much for your tireless commitment to your fellow man. It is very much appreciated.

[@Toracube]

I get the feeling that you could beat a Hurricane with a Napkin and a small stick... Thanks Dave. Excellent as always.

[@GriffinReaper1]

I have been watching your vids for about 6 months & thoroughly enjoy them. this series is quickly becoming one of my FAVs

[@Sparky35722]

I just finished the land nav portion of bct, this covered so much that we never got to discuss that I found myself taking notes. I guess that's what happens when you have to learn at the pace of the slowest student in the classroom. I really hope you can do a video on resection; I haven't been able to find anyone in my platoon or company that would explain it. Thank you, and I hope you have a happy new year.

[@SingleShot4570]

Dave alot of us know these methods. But, you deliver them with amazing clarity, that anyone can learn them. Well done!

[@SootyWebster]

Great series, Mr Canterbury. Keep them coming. And have a great NY.

[@TheBlackB0X]

This video blew my mind twice, and I am half asleep from being up all night, thanks Dave for introducing me to two new possibilities of measurement and gaining a quality understanding of my surroundings. I feel lucky to see information like this.

[@bluesteelworxc]

This was one of the most informative videos you have put yet and there have been a lot of them, thanks Dave

[@jessemontie4242]

Love this professor dave series I always wondered how I was going to apply trig in the bushcraft mentality... Btw it was bugging me to death about that axe w/1" increments I saw a week ago...now you've shown us what you use it for : ) I'll be marking mine ASAP Thanks again Dave for your insight and time

[@NateNorris]

Great example for any math teacher looking for a real-world example of why kids should learn this skill. Loved every second of these videos. Happy New Year.

[@danvachon6973]

Thanks Dave, your insight and guidance in this series are wonderful. I will be working with my grandkids on this stuff - very valuable, thanks again!!

[@bwillan]

This is proof positive that algebra and geometry have real world applications.

[@kinghoju]

Some really awesome tricks Dave! Thanks for covering this! Its amazing--I've been watching every video you make for several years now and you still have a wealth of knowledge left to impart. Thanks for all you do!

[@jaswas77]

your videos are so informative and practical. you are a great teacher. Thanks

[@ericwright7643]

Just wanted to say that I have really enjoyed this series. I'm gona rewatch and take some notes so that I can practice this weekend.

[@goriverman]

Thanks Dave that was a great video. i learned that in school 50 years ago and forgot most of it. You explained very well and even i understood it easily. Have a healthy happy and successful new year to you and your family and everyone associated with Wildernessoutfitters

[@CbusHas]

Learned a lot from this series. Thanks Dave and happy new year.

[@muddog1561]

Happy New Year, Dave.

[@MikeJamesMedia]

Great, useful, practical information, Dave. Thank you!

[@Odin1978]

Exellent video. I haven't tought how to measure distance in nature, but now that you brought forth it, it is an exellent tool to use. Happy new year from Finland!

[@LeeWolfLittle]

Enjoying these lessons, Thank You. Happy New Year to you, your family and staff at The Pathfinder School

[@JCrook1028]

Thx again Dave for another excellent video. You have a knack for making things simple and easy to understand. Keep it up brother. happy New Year!

[@kipbrown2374]

Good Series, you've given me a some tools and methods to play with, Tks for sharing Dave. Happy New Year

[@bushcraft2012]

Happy New Year Dave. Thanks for doing this series of videos. The knowledge you provide has been an invaluable resource for me as well as others I'm sure. I really enjoyed learning about calculating the height using the cordage and equally spaced measuring tool...great stuff!

[@walleyefishinrod3115]

Happy New Year to you and your family Dave. Thanks for another year of great vids and life saving info. Looking forward to another year of the same... Take care brother...Rod

[@EatCarbs]

Yeah... I didn't know some of those tricks. Thanks for the video Dave.. really appreciate it. Hope you had a nice New Years.

[@omarandcarrie]

Happy New Year Mr. Dave! Thanks for teaching me so much!

[@BorealWoodsrunner]

HAPPY NEW YEARS to Dave Ms.Iris and bug may the new year be as good to you as the last and bear sweet fruit for you all...said so many time im sure its getting old but thank you for all you do on youtube and at the school.

[@garygerow4822]

Thanks Dave, definetly more Quality education than I got in high school for sure.

[@cliffspears1307]

Happy New Year to you too Dave. You make an excellent instructor. I am continually amazed at your wealth of knowledge and willingness to share it. I am looking forward to another year of great videos. Thanks a million.

[@TheKentuckyWoodsman]

Wow, this is GREAT! Thanks for sharing this Dave! God bless, & Happy New Year!

[@johnson-us5ve]

Dave thanks I have ben watching you for a long time and never commented but felt like saying thanks on this one I have ben struggling with this topic for some time now and like always you made it simple and easy to understand

[@MountainRaider]

Happy New Year,Dave!Health and prosperity for all! Always be strong and well,to keep teaches us so great things!

[@hillbillybushcraft]

Good stuff Bro! I will have to watch this one a couple times.

[@NoogaNewb]

Thanks, Dave. That's pretty cool stuff.

[@Gerakisgr]

Hi Dave and Happy New Year from Greece!!! I have seen all your videos,and i use a lot of things that i learn from you,in the wild mountains of Greece!!! I want to thank you and to say you to keep up the good work,you teach us many usefull things bye for now!!!!

[@seanrich1367]

Happy New Year from Wheeling, WV. Great job with the videos, Enjoy them.

[@BManHunts]

Great videos, Dave. I wish you well in the New Year. I knew a lot of the things you talked about in your video series, but it was a good refresher. One thing I learned that I thought was great was using the compass to determine the height of an object. I have a Silva Ranger that I never knew what the "clinometer" was used for...in fact, I didn't even know what it was called. Thanks again for the great videos!

[@jetblackstar]

To all the children that say math isn't useful outside the classroom. Send them to this video. Some awesome practical user of geometry! Thanks Dave!

[@bigghoss762]

I took geometry in highschool probably 15 years ago and as I was watching the video a lot of what I learned then about calculating unknowns of triangles came flooding back. So it helps me to think of it like a geometry problem and solving for an unknown.

[@longhunterslegacy7240]

Thank you so much for this information. I've been taking notes the whole time.

[@abuibraheemtabib6561]

These lessons are so cool. Thank you!

[@methylmercurypoisoning]

whats the song name you use at the beginning?

[@robertlundquist5450]

Another excellent vid. You make the most complicated things easy to do. I remember using a slide rule to do the same thing. Happy New Year.

[@henrypuyi5485]

This would have made those geometry proofs make sense! I am going to show my son this! Outstanding!!! Happy New Year

[@onion2112]

Great series

[@newenglandbushcraft5379]

I've been following Dave and Wilderness Outfitters for quite some time and enjoy the videos. They are great tools to help reconfirm and retrain many skills that are best if committed to muscle memory. My question for Dave: Are there any skills that you think are easier to train due to them being instinctual or natural human response? Do you train or instruct these skills differently than other ones? Thanks for all you do!

[@Zarthalad]

Happy New Year! My friend and God bless you and your family ! Fantastic video btw wish I'd had you during math class. I always liked the practical applications of learning but no most my math teachers were coaches ....lol

[@blistersteel]

very helpful dave.salute .

[@marycahill546]

Fantastic! I wish school geometry had been as practical as this; I would have done much better and actually enjoyed it.

[@jms91177]

Man, i don't know any of this. Im sure its easy stuff to learn, but starting out seems impossible. Great stuff Dave! Happy New Year to you as well.

[@benterwellen]

Great Series, ty Dave

[@TeamKiyotaka]

HAPPY NEW YEAR 明けましておめでとうございます!! 今年もよろしくお願いします!!

[@JackMilholm]

I wish my math teachers would have taught like this. I would have listened. Great series.

[@Danny0M]

Happy New Year Dave, thank you!

[@SanDiegoSWOT]

Nice! I wasn't familiar with the no-compass method. Happy New Year to you and yours!

[@maximus78028]

Very good video got to give you props on this series. The river crossing without the compass very good. Hadn't seen that in a while.

[@penfoldooo2160]

An even easier way using a branch that is as long as your arm (from shoulder to outstretched fingertip): Grasp the end of the branch with one hand. Hold the branch horizontally if you are measuring distance, vertically if measuring height. Make sure the angle between the branch and your outstretched arm is 90 degrees. Starting at your origin (the base of the tree/edge of the river bank), just walk away from the tree/along the river bank whilst keeping your clenched hand (the base of the branch) aimed at the origin. Count paces as you go. When the tip of the branch lines up with your target (top of tree/other side of river) then an isosceles triangle has been formed and the distance/height you wanted to measure is equal to the distance you have walked.

[@DavidCanterbury]

Have'nt gotten there yet-

[@DavidJelsmaBanjo]

Awesome! Thanks Dave!

[@josephmiller325]

Very nice lessons, Dave. Have a Happy, and prosperous new year 2014!!

[@Shannon_Lacey]

Yeah, definitely! Happy New Year!

[@MrTonydivine]

thanks And Happy New Year

[@lavalizard3]

You're a really good teacher.

[@badfish6978]

Oh I can't resist....What did the acorn say when he grew up? Ge om e try! Corny I know...great series. Thanks Dave!

[@RandomStuff-yr8yt]

Cool, keep this stuff coming.

[@wanderingrose9469]

My son starts geometry next year. I'm going to send him a link to this video. Super stuff. Thx. Happy New Year.

[@BuckMckawtheotherone]

Yee -hah! it's like being in the Scouts again. Great schoolin' brother.

[@marshallartsncards4890]

Awesome video man great info

[@chuckksa9851]

Thanks Dave

[@psdpatrija6795]

Happy New Year Dave!

[@bushcraftchip]

happy new year to you and your family,God Bless...

[@jonathanscheets4545]

If my geometry teacher had tried using real-life examples, I might have paid attention and learned something. Thanks Dave.

[@aru05001]

If you go the 20feet and then Another 20feet, won't the disstances be the same instead of half once you've walked away from the river to angle up your pegs? or if you just go 10 and 10 feet?

[@brucewayne-cave]

Very well done...

[@joshuakelekovich8091]

Hey Dave, what are your thoughts on the Cammenga 3H Tritium model compass that the military issues its troops?

[@DavidCanterbury]

No Map No Problem Part 2

[@vagabond_shadow7057]

Many thanks for doing this.

[@congamike1]

I love everything about this video. These new tools should come in handy! Hmm.... Can I use an axe to gauge the (archery) distance to a deer?

[@Sk0lzky]

Triangles similarity in real life ^^ Happy new year to you too.

[@barksalot31]

Happy New Year!

[@MarcelPrefontaine]

Another crude but effective method for (tree) height is to follow the arc from vertical to horizontal with a stick at arm's length. Line up the base of the stick with the base of the tree and make a mark where the top of the tree is on the stick. Still at arm's length, lay the stick in a horizontal position with its base lined up with the base of the tree. Whatever falls between the base of the tree and the mark on your stick is in harm's way.

[@FacetsOfTruth]

I have never heard of any of this stuff. And I got a D in math, so it's good that I got my Life-Saving/swimming merit badge in Boy Scouts. Happy New Year to you too brother.

[@1crimm]

You are a good man

[@randyansen3260]

Would you recommend a stone on a rope and then count out the rope

[@RandomStuff-yr8yt]

Oh yeah, HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!

[@jakeells66]

Never actually thought id be using what I learned in math class lol

[@willpfannenstiel]

I wish that you would have been my high school geometry teacher!

[@royhines7364]

Have a question. How can you stay fit in different climate.

[@kumbackquatsta]

you should retitle this series as "why you should pay attention in geometry class"

[@MeyersCTR]

News to me - Thanks from Alabama

[@smithad7]

nice i like it great vid
