As always, clear and informative. I like the boots, but I just purchased Keen.

[@colewebb4643]

Hi Corporal Kelly hope you and you're family are doing good I finally get to watch this one keep the video's coming 👍👍👍♘ thank you Corporal Kelly great video ♘ 👍👍👍C😎😎L

[@alec1575]

Corporals Corner hey love the video; I’m a bit late but I was wondering what that two piece axe is in the video, and where I can get it.

[@johnnylong03]

2 years later...Just found your channel. So, when I was about 13-14 (20+ years ago, I guess) years old, I went to a survival camp, and we had a land-nav course. We were given some brief education on compasses, maps, landmarks, and shelters. Long story short...my partner and myself got way off-course from the course. We used the skills we were taught about compasses and maps and navigation to find our way back. To be arrogant, we used those skills we learned in a real life situation, and met our search party that was looking for us. What I'm trying to say is: Learn to read maps and use a compass. GPS systems can go down. When SHTF, what are you gonna do?

[@Lt.Dans_Legs-freesp3Ak]

You had the skills before you went off course, though? 😂

[@richardackerman6151]

I have been using my map and compass for years. I have watched all of your map, compass and land navigation videos this week. I have watched many others as well. Your videos have clarified and helped me to the point that I no longer need a GPS. I hunt Southern California mountains where there is not much game, except for private land. I just like to get out and scout hike to find deer trails. Then travel back at night to my chosen site and wait for the sun to come up. I haven't been lost yet. I think your videos are the best training I have ever seen or watched. I subscribed to your channel and will follow you, I am a 71-year-old US Army vet, but most of my friends are jarhead Marines. That just goes to show that I can even learn from a jarhead. Thanks, Brother.

[@wmluna381]

First video of MANY that explained what a waypoint is in short detail outside of just using the word.

[@KimberlyGreen]

Yes! I was so hoping you would take theory out to the field to show us how it's done. •You• are outstanding!

[@dannyh9010]

I remember that pink 19 tag very well. My partner and I were the last pair out that night of our basic class at around 11:00 pm. We debated at length whether it was a 19 or (read upside down) a 61. We settled on 61 and spent a lot of time exploring Dave’s property after dark! (We suggested a line underscoring the bearing would be helpful.). We eventually used the pipeline as a backstop and handrail to make our way back to camp. It was raining the whole weekend, too. It was an awesome weekend! Really! :-)

[@hook2364]

Good stuff, I am happy you're doing this series. I think LandNAV is a lost art and needs to be resurrected in our community.

[@MrScreaney]

I loved the musical interlude almost as much as the landnav content. Thank you for continuing this series; it’s been very educational and inspiring.

[@kenwintin3014]

The Corporal is The King of KISS. Love your vids.

[@RICREYNOLDSMUSIC]

Thank you first for serving our wonderful country as all four of my forefathers served in the Revolutionary War and two of them under Washingtons command. Second thank you for making all your videos as they all serve a purpose in helping with survival in this ever changing world. One day we.may all need some of these but yet I am still optimistic.

[@pjohnson6999]

I've enjoyed your videos on map reading and compass skills that I've bought them. I've never done any of this before so I thank you for getting me interested in exploring the outdoors. Keep up the excellent work as I'm sure its valued by many, including me!

[@GoodCovfefe]

This channel has just become one of my top educational resources.

[@ashleys289]

The easiest to understand explanations on basic land nav that I've ever seen. Thank you so much :)

[@jeremywilliams9039]

Hey, just wanted to say "thank you" for this series. I worked my way through them today and I feel like I learned a great deal in a short amount of time. Will be revisiting them from time to time.

[@sue299]

OMG.. I love you! Thank you for showing it "simplified". Outstanding AF.💯💥

[@adaptablesurvival]

Great video Corporal! I'm glad I had you as an instructor this past weekend. Definitely nailed home the importance of mastering navigation skills.

[@davewalton7401]

Excellent vid. I have some red wing irish setters i got a few years ago. They are amazing boots. Very well made. Other than a lil patina on the leather,they look new after many,many klicks.

[@toddgibson9861]

Nice boots & Great video....!! Dead reckoning courses are challenging and fun....and bring out the compass/pace skills. Can't wait for you to break out the map and use terrain association and handrails....

[@johnnybushman651]

Once again cpl. Kelly OUTSTANDING! Thank you for the navigational videos !

[@erniedurocher4376]

"If it ain't raining, we ain't training" Tru Dat

[@danielcharbonneau222]

Yes for sure something learned. I like the markers setup and task placed ahead for a field run. With some good planning I will be setting up a course, like what you just walked. I just bought 7 new compass for my Niece and Nephews after watching your first video in this series, for Christmas. In the Spring I will be setting up a course and running it with the kids. Lots of FUN ahead, Thanks Shawn.

[@victorcastle1840]

Daniel Charbonneau,That is great you are teaching them something other than smartphone thumb punching ! What compass did you buy ? I copied the model he used and goggled it and came up with the same compass and several with more letters behind that, all a little different ??

[@GrayBeardedGreenBeret]

Good call on throwing in that reminder to use waypoints, that is something that gets overlooked often and its such a simple thing.

[@recall5811]

Thanks man I figured it was better than just tossing your pack in the weeds.......

[@GrayBeardedGreenBeret]

I don't know how to laugh on KZbin, but I am.

[@toddshook1765]

Seeing what you taught put into action put it in perspective for me. Thanks

[@WiliamBennettwildarbennett]

Again exceptionally well taught Navigation basics. Thank you for making it so easy to understand and learn.

[@Flashahol]

This is the only video I have seen that is an actual demonstration of how to do it... OUTSTANDING!

[@recall5811]

Please share it with others and thanks for watching

[@heathhaas5163]

Excellent demonstration, and this helped with a couple points of your back to the existing destination point to line to next target location.

[@TACHILL]

I know many folks who swear by red wing boots so its no surprise to hear you like em. Great tips on staying at the actual point and checking for next bearing.

[@liammichaelis3687]

Bro u make the best survival vids I’ve watched almost all your videos thanks

[@recall5811]

Please share them with others and thanks for watching

[@liammichaelis3687]

Corporals Corner ok thanks

[@jnleduc]

Thanks Marine. Very clear, well done instructional videos. Hoowaaa!

[@larrywiley1804]

Shawn, thank you so much for the effort you put into all your videos especially this one. I really appreciate your teaching skills sir. And a very big thank you for your service for this great country.

[@Scotland_my]

Love the tagged tree idea. I'm going to set one up for my nephew. He's joined the Cubs now so it's time for navigation with Uncle G. Thanks for the video.

[@rossrossier935]

THANX Cpl. K. Your land navs. Are great, always learn something!!

[@jaybenton546]

The way you explain things is so easy to understand... landnav made easy ty sir.

[@williamlinch5718]

Fantastic watched 3 times. Please keep 'em coming. Thanks

[@bowdiersackett6433]

Will have to check out those boots...you know I need a new pair...great review of the navigation course

[@markoss333]

Yet another outstanding video. Great info. Great practice. Thanks

[@MrJohnnycearley]

Outstanding video!!! Excellent demonstration of skills from your previous videos. I learn so much from these videos. I also ordered those boots!! Outstanding work sir.

[@adamortner7172]

Great example! Been watching videos on suunto compass mc2. Appreciate your no nonsense instruction. Thanks sir.

[@adamw8469]

Outstanding! Survival skills people don't know today.

[@steffanoswald7917]

That was really the coolest video you’ve ever done. I only say that because, I remember that course from basic class. I’ve been practicing self mapping. Land Navigation is by no means easy but, I’m getting better at it.

[@bowdiersackett6433]

Yeah I just got back and setting up a course to do same

[@Imightberiding]

I realise this video was made a few years ago. I watched it then & I'm watching it now. Very good stuff. One thing kept scratching at the back of my mind/memory that I couldn't place. I've got it now. You have a definite Jim Belushi vibe & tone of voice @ 3:30 min. Almost a John Belushi Blues Brothers vibe (especially with the shades) but absolutely a Jim Belushi vibe which is better because he's a little taller, slenderer, fitter, better looking than his older brother & still alive. ; ) Carry on mate. Been following you for several years & find myself rewatching many of your videos. Lots of knowledge & experience here for the taking for those willing to learn. Cheers from Canada.

[@techguy6397]

you make the best survival vids

[@55Quirll]

It would be great if the BSA would do this now, but not sure if they even do it.

[@pastorpfp1]

Thanks for the class in the field. The boots are outstanding!

[@alanmanzie9902]

Easy video on working with a compass. Love it! Big AL

[@hArtyTruffle]

Thanks Shawn. I always revisit your vids for a refresher. You’re such a good teacher 👍🏼 Outstanding in fact 😏

[@richarddaugherty8583]

Outstanding, Corporal! Nicely done! Very interested in those boots! Red Wing has always been a good manufacturer.

[@Gozerthegozarian1984]

Great video. Realized I’ve made the mistake of not shooting my next azimuth with my back to the tag/point. Always learn something from CC videos.

[@davidleasure9138]

Very good sir. Thanks for sharing. Clear and concise teaching

[@carolynsparks3164]

awesome information.. Thank you for sharing.

[@DannyWalker1949]

Thank You for these GREAT Video's, Corporal. I Do enjoy 'em, alot.

[@TonyTooTuff]

I’ll be at the Basic Class Oct 8th. I’ve been binge watching your videos to prepare.

[@CameronSharpPottery]

Love my Irish Setter work boots. On my 3rd pair, I’ve resoled each pair twice. They last and last and I wear them most days for 15 hours. The only other shoes I own are flip flops and snow boots.

[@thomasgold-1000]

Thanks Cpl, really enjoy your NAV vids!

[@tomgilbert1703]

This is all new to me and I have learned a lot between the first video and now this one. I am going to set up a little course like this to take and practice and teach my son. Maybe I'll teach some of my friends kids too.

[@scottanthony1616]

Awesome vid, I always learn something from you, thanks. God bless you and your Family always. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@theunholyhorseman7139]

As usual, well done, Corporal! Clearly presented and demonstrated.

[@kevinalexander5408]

Thank you for this excellent field demonstration - Awesome

[@twotonanchor]

Had a pair of setters from 20 years ago. I just tossed them a couple years ago. Setters rock.

[@gregwright392]

Best "how to" I've seen! Well done young man. Your a great teacher.

[@recall5811]

Please share them with others and thanks for watching

[@tonycamaro1677]

Excellent video. It seems you’ve got to be ok doing a lot of bushwhacking to walk an azimuth. Can you do a vid on using a compass to help stay on the correct trail, for example in a national park or forest with multiple trails intersecting or veering off or that aren’t well marked? Thank you.

[@MrScreaney]

Yes, I’d be very interested in seeing this as well!

[@josephb7460]

Showing land navigation in practice was a learning experience even though I was just watching. Along with your 2 previous vids it brings it all together. Also I have been wearing Red Wing and Irish Setter boots and shoes for years. Good quality product. They are good to go..........

[@nellytalford7119]

Love your videos, have learned a lot from them. God bless!

[@americanpatriotbill]

I need to practice that !!! Outstanding AF.....

[@skyfall9124]

Thank you for the video and your explanations. May this quote cheer thou up: Zeus: "Are you aiming for these people?" John McClane: "No. Well, maybe that mime."

[@scatoutdebutter]

Thanks for the video. I would like to see something similar, but demonstrating some real life hiking situations of navigating deep ravines, etc., using the offset and reset(?) methods to return to your bearing. Thanks again.

[@keithtomczyk4730]

One thing you have to know about Irish Setters before buying is to have your shoe department associate measure your foot and make sure your heel fits the boot correctly. Some of their boots have a wide heel counter/shelf. I was fitted improperly and my upland boots caused a muscle tear in my heel. Red Wing sewed a couple layers into my boot and never had an issue again. Great boots. Love my Danners as well.

[@sister943]

So helpful, thank you! Clarifying question from this beginner: Just to be clear, after you enter the azimuth via the bezel, before walking you move Red to the Shed, right?

[@Vanayr]

I don’t even get a chance to watch before I hit the like button 😂

[@kentmooney54]

Really like the music 🎶 Reminds me of late 80’s early 90’s

[@cz75tactical9]

Great vid as always. I have those same exact boots and love them. I want the 9" 400gram ones now for deep winter.

[@candiced710]

Waypoint video next then. Wealth of knowledge and it is appreciated. Thank you for the work you put in.

[@jplamb77]

Another Excellent Short training video,,,,,👍👍

[@gagetman69jeffhebert32]

Great video as always , the boots look comfortable and light weight, as well as durable, i own a pair of there muck boots best boot ever for hunting

[@whathmm226]

Nice video on land navigation; not always a clearly presented subject. Also, depending on how rough/muddy the land, Indian moccasins cant be beat for not giving you blisters etc.. I have easily done 8 miles on a sand beach, and they are the only footwear that adapts to everything comfortably with no band-aids required, both wet and dry.

[@privatenineNaturalWoman]

Knowledge is power! Thank you Sir!!

[@unfi6798]

Priceless knowledge mate. Cowabunga indeed.!

[@JohnDoe-gc5hn]

What are some rucking boots that are comfortable and durable you suggest? A lot of guys on youtube say Salomon, but so many people out there cannot afford $180+ boots that may need to be replaced within a year's time. Especially when the entire Prepper market has jacked up prices for everything out there.

[@jamesmangan6882]

Great detail, great video. Thanks.

[@davidb4233]

Good easy to understand videos. Just getting interested in land navigation with a compass.

[@OldNorsebrewery]

I like Alpha M-77 leather military boots. I have had and wore out several pairs over the years

[@debbiekerr3989]

This is a great lesson. I learn so much from you. Could you make a video on making a smokeless fire? I think I read about one several years ago.

[@mattm5001]

Thanks for the video.

[@JohnSmith-xd8do]

I used the Silva 123 method of map reading in Ranger school. I came in first in land Nav

[@williamkeil8414]

Excellent Excellent video as always

[@challenger2ultralightadventure]

This really makes me want to design and build a land nav course on some public land, just so others who enjoy the challenge and exercise can get out and participate. I had not thought of using cattle ear tags screwed to trees. Any suggestions on the length of each leg? I'm thinking of keeping them between 400 meters and 1 klm. Input or suggestions are welcome.

[@wmluna381]

Did you ever accomplish this?

[@williamvailati2044]

Yes outstanding ! brushing up for me thanks ! Semper Fi

[@securityguy1984]

I just wanted to say ty for all these videos , with the recent direct hit by hurricane Michael on my home my family , my mom's family and grandma's family had to use a few skills taught by you on your videos, we have just got cell phone service on here but still no power, but even tho all three of our houses are destroyed or totaled we are alive ,ty for the skills I have learned from your videos. P.S. the beef stew MRE rocks ! Oh and you can watch the last moments of the house on my channel ty again and can't wait for the next video!

[@ChuckKrcilek]

Can you do a video on night navigation where you cant see the end point due to darkness and perhaps how to stay on course when you cant walk just a straight line to the way-point. Perhaps a real scenario where you descend into a small canyon and need to walk several hundred yard to find a suitable place to climb out then get back to your initial line of sight?

[@kevotoolz6158]

Great video. Like the fact that you used a boot and did a review. Not one of the bigger named boot designers either.

[@devildogsbushcraft7898]

Outstanding!

[@hondaridgelineenduser5934]

It reminds me of a 5.11 boot that irish setter boot i wonder if the metal shank is thin with cardboard. I remember buying a pair of 5.11 boots and some knock off less then 4 months the soles ripped up and i seen a thin shank, cardboard and rubber

[@mrkultra1655]

👍🏻 Thanks again Corporal

[@mclewisadventures3851]

Another outstanding vid brother! Keep 'em coming!

[@thomasrayborn3177]

Question... when you get to the next land navigation point (tag on tree with degree on it), do you dial in the new degree, put the red in the shed, find a point in the distance to head to, and head off that way? Thanks for the great video!

[@sofakinggood5829]

Kelly, where is this training course? Great video again.

[@recall5811]

Ohio thanks for watching

[@robertdunn8541]

Would love to try the courses

[@tarainprogress8860]

I would love to get some practice on a navigation course. I googled "Land Navigation Course near me" and the search yielded classes, not courses. 😅🤦‍♀ Is there a database out there somewhere that shows where some of these courses are? Or maybe you know of some in TX, north of Austin...?

[@pathopkins4500]

Very good series on Land NAV =) Thanks for sharing you skills =)

[@shawnr771]

Good to go as usual. You might mention techniques to use when having to negotiate obstacles on your route. Having to deviate from your primary azimuth and then return back to thst intended line can be very difficult. In earlier videos you mentioned natural walking drift. It would be helpful if you showed some techniques for correction.

[@recall5811]

There are no obstacles on a beginner land nav course and to deviate just use the 90 degree offset that I show in my videos. Thanks for watching

[@shawnr771]

@@recall5811 Thanks. Will look for those.

[@tallman2210]

Can you do a review of how the Ravine boots hold up over time?
