Good info: If you know and are good to go, forward this to someone who is not familiar with the basics of using a compass. This is about as simple as I've ever heard it explained.

    Good work, Jeff!!!

    It’s far too easy to get complacent with GPS. Those things can and do fail.

    Do not ask me how I know this.

    Thanks Glen and I know what you mean too. I think that 'ol boy on the video puts the instructions in terms that most can understand.

    This is a great video. I watched it on my phone last night on my break but didn't have time to leave a comment.

    Best advice I got in land nav. Always carry a second compass. You will argue with one, but you can't argue with two!

    An old Marine maxim...there is nothing more dangerous than a lieutenant with a compass. I'll pass this along.
