Stealth Navigation, Counter Tracking, and Ranger Pudding

[@louiemorris9598]

One way you can tell if you're doing a good job at sneaking and peeking. Is wild life. If you're seeing it and hearing it close by. You're doing good.

[@danlaws-er8yo]

Love your work my dad was a sniper in the Army here in the US and he trained Me from little up he's passed on now and I keep up with my training so if I ever need it I got it I love your work and all the up dated Material you put on here

[@mikel9567]

I know exactly where you're at. I grew up in Oly listening to the artillery from what was then Ft. Lewis. Now I live further north and get to hear the sounds of freedom courtesy of NAS Whidbey. Thanks for doing these videos. Always learn something new.

Excellent and interesting YT video on Land Nav and "how to" stealth Navigation!

[@berniestraight126]

When I worked with the d.n.r. In enumclaw we had a team to out line timber sales. In the 80s early we had a 100 yard. Loggers chain and compass to out line the sale with flagging tape I just loved it way out in the water shed for Tacoma no one goes except us with the helitec crew you remind me of are team leader so full of real information not afraid to give you every bit of it to someone who really wanted to know it but you had to want it for real he was a evac pilot in nam and a little bit well how do I say out there he still flew helicopter for the state loaded with a bucket he knew his Stuff. Fearless unlike men my age now a days miss him any way thank you for sharing your knowledge on this brings back memories and shortfalls of why I for got this man’s lesson to me I’m getting it back now at 62 kind of a jack wagon thing to do But it’s coming back to me pretty easy Thanks god bless stay safe and stoked

[@530eman]

Really appreciate all your landNav work, thank you sir

[@erwin643]

Back in my time, every time we halted, we were in the prone position, kneeling only if we needed to see something. And we cut through the brush: no roads, no trails.

[@aleksiiprohorov89]

Thank U 4 video! Very interesting point of view 4 hiking.

[@jkrjhn8]

Lots of gold in this video! Thank you for taking the time to share!

[@joefennell7535]

Yet another great one Top. Good to see Riggs again too.

[@haiilkingyeshua4690]

Perfect timing. I have level C coming up soon so I’m absorbing what I can beforehand. Blessings to you brother.

[@STOKERMATIC]

Excellent and fun video. Riggs is a handsome boy..

[@tfisher808]

Great video, brings back memories......Thanks

[@AlexanderFarley]

Helpful, I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on the same topic in an urban environment

[@mikec.8556]

Great video ! Your buddy Rigs is very loyal love seeing that chemistry .

[@Swamp_Lad]

About litter discipline: I read a German manual on winter scouting parties in Karelia. As is is very thick snowy forests they would go on raiding/scouting parties on ski’s in larger groups. Where they would stop for rest or camp they would of course leave a lot of boot and ski prints. But as both sides would be out scouting the large areas between the lines they would take and leave some Russian packaging and cigarette stumps as a clue it might have been a Russian not a German raiding party. They also did boobytrap the clues if there was a high likelihood that Russians would find the site. But the counter litter warfare is a nice one

[@jenniferbauman4802]

Good video. God bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.

I know this forest! Is this near Stewart and McCall? ...good stuff here brotha. Pay attention to this guy people. He's the real deal. A tip a SF Instructor once told me as a counter tracking method...duct tape on the bottom of your boots. It smooths out and takes your tread away plus you can make a nest tread pattern out of small rocks or rolled up tape or paracord. I've tried it on planning ops and it works. It's almost like putting on a pair of moccasins and leaves much less sign. 🤙...7the Group.

[@STOKERMATIC]

Good stuff! And this was shot in the PNW.

[@runningman1156]

great info, love your content.

[@Jeff-vp9vz]

Man, good video. I got to get caught up on some of the other ones. Thanks for putting these out.

Excellent tipps and tricks for a succsessfull recon mission! Thanks!💯👏👍🏼

[@ThatPilotDude]

It’s weird having some rando video pop up on the recommended and feeling like you’ve been there before. Turns out I’ve been exactly there, lol. Ran all over that place in my younger days.

[@STOKERMATIC]

Glad it took ya down memory Lane

[@ricksilver7398]

Nice job stoke. Beautiful terrain to move through. You fueled up, but what about your battle buddy? Sure he would have loved some of that grub. 😆

[@Stoney_AKA_James]

Good video Bill! N/W USA countryside is really nice, I remember it well, and yes depending upon terrain and vegetation - pace counts are unreliable!

[@STOKERMATIC]

Truth.

[@jerryj3047]

good video man 👍👍

[@lance8730]

It's crazy when you get really good at these things it's almost time to hang it up and go admin and medpros centric. I'm trying to teach my guys more at an earlier part in their career to make us all better.

[@STOKERMATIC]

Man you preaching to the choir! 🤣😂🤣 Appreciate ya! Your Team will too! Keep grinding brother!!

Great class today Top!!! Great explanation of other “tools” one has to navigate terrain…. Got to have options in the ole kitbag!!! Are you on the back ranges or south of JBLM? Nice pack dump at the end too! Light and agile! Keep up the Fire!

[@STOKERMATIC]

Near abouts

[@johnkline5930]

@@STOKERMATIC that’s awesome territory… not too far away from ole Tenino… cut my teeth as well as generations of Soldiers on that practice map at PLDC waaaay back in the day at the Fort Knox NCO Academy (now long since gone). Do you plan on doing some training classes this summer at all? I’m itching to rezero my knowledge of Navigation!

[@STOKERMATIC]

@@johnkline5930 I am planning on some. Still working through scheduling and work stuff. It’ll be posted though!

[@rjae5641]

E&E kit?? What's in it?

[@STOKERMATIC]

Ah! Future video 😎🇺🇸🥃

[@brandyhouston2105]

Thanks for making the video. Thinking about places I'm familiar with and routes. And then, being in places I'm not familiar with. Depending on the 'situation' i.e. can I move in a straight line, railroad tracks? Or do I travel along a river? Your right, rehearsals will teach many things.

[@STOKERMATIC]

Right on - thinking and then doing! Gotta keep grinding.

[@lance8730]

Is your map laminated or what are you using? I like it.

[@STOKERMATIC]

I did laminate this one.

[@nc_mtbmedic1399]

You and garand thumb for sere challenge #3

[@STOKERMATIC]

That would be epic!

[@seedy-waney-bonnie4906]

I always walked in the tree line never in the open.

[@outdoorvideoswithbrad]

I do that stuff all the time, try being in places you’re not supposed to be it’s a rush evading

[@robertedwards7749]

Hey thank you for giving a back up to pace counting. I get messed up once in a while and its like was that 76 or 67 counts. Very frustrating. I mean if all you had to do was keep track of your count it would be ok (I guess) but while you are counting you are observing and making mental and note book notes, Looking for things like usable tinder, signs of a water source. So many things to keep track of. So yes thank you for the second option. Happy to see Riggs back on trail again.

[@pizzafrenzyman]

judging by your camera, your foot crunching noise extends about 20 feet.
