How To Get Started With Mapreading & Land Navigation - Part 2 (get to know your compass)

[@williewilson8244]

3:29 that totally makes sense and explains declination. A 4.00 dollar compass 🧭 would be impossible to read exact Magnetic 🧲 North but can pick up the magnetic 🧲 flux line that will end up at True Magnetic North and mathematical constants can adjust for this variable.

I like the fact that you don't rush explaining. You take enough time on everything so its understandable for a complete beginner

Thank you! So helpful! I'm excited for my neighbors to see me walking around my neighborhood with a map and compass haha!

+Kate Land hi Kate thank you for the feedback on my video. I look forward to hearing what your neighbours say when they see wandering around the neighborhood, seemingly lost 😉

thanks craig very informative will give it a go keep up the good work

[@TheBushcraftPadawan]

Thanks Lawrence, as always I appreciate your views and comments. If I'm honest this *isn't* the video that intended to make/alluded to the last time we interacted, but I realised that I needed to record this video for the next video to make any sense. Let me know how you get on with your compass work.

Will do thanks again craig

So in all compasses the red pointer generally points north, and the other pointer points south?

[@TheBushcraftPadawan]

The magnetic end of the needle aligns itself to the local magnetic fields, so the needle isn't actually pointing North as such.

Had to smile when you said, “where your dog stops for a pee.” That would be every bush, shrub, grassy tuft, or giant pine along the trail for “Koda of the ten gallon bladder”
