In this advanced land navigation class, I will intentionally get lost in a large wooded section and use my skills to reorient myself to understand where I am, and then plan a route to get back to my car. The process of resection is basic geometry and can be used by anyone, once you have a firm grasp on the principle.

“Don’t try this at home…” If I were at home, I wouldn’t NEED this video! Then again, I only feel at home when I am as close to lost as possible. ❤️

Top, it’s been a very long time since I did any terrain association/map reading. This is such great education. So glad I found your channel.
-
1SG once again top-notch tutorial. Thank you for the time you spend, on making these videos
-
NICE NAVIGATION VIDEO👍 KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK BRO & I'LL KEEP SUPPORTING YOUR CHANNEL...THANK U 4 UR SERVICE AS WELL!
-
Outstanding!
-
great info i am loving these vids i learn a lot from some and a great refresh from others thank you :)
-
That is one gorgeous rock dude !! Helluva place to get lost , lol. Ive learned a lot from your vids so far. Especially plotting on the map with the protractor. Ive had to watch them a couple times but its right there for me.....thanks a lot. sub'd and bell'd
-
holy shit ur almost in my back yard!!!!
-
Very good job, thanks for the video. :)
-
Great video and greetings from the dry side of the state.
-
Thanks for sharing! Your observations made it easy to follow along on Google maps to within a reasonable amount of accuracy - plus or minus 25 feet or so.
-
Great video that's why I only buy analog watches to help find direction. I do mine a little different I shoot back azimuth. Both ways work great. Another tool in the toolbox. Keep the videos coming brother.
-
This was super cool man...I bet your wife doesnt say "stop and ask for directions" to you !!!
-
Thank you for your practical navigation course application which makes it simple for the"common man".My only question is this: Shouldn't we compensate for the magnetic declination for the transformation of magnetic azimuths to grid ones?Thank you in advance for your efforts and knowledge given through your courses.A fan from Greece.

1sg, have a question. Why are you the only person on youtube who actually gives more than just pointers? I mean most vids will explain just enough to put you in a 5 digit grid, (yes I know there is no such thing. I am referring to the content of the video. It seems that ppl will only give generalizations of ideas. Not walk through processes to the end. Thereby leading to an incomplete understanding, and often false confidence) that's why your channel is programmed into my DAGGER. it has 10 digits for your channel, and book marked under "actual learning". Keep it up 1sg. Mad props.

I'm going to assume you ate every wild mushroom you saw before and during this! Lol good tutorial though! 👍
-
I would you convert the magnetic degrees to grid degrees with the declination diagram?
-
For the triangulation, do you have to add the G-M angle since you're converting magnetic to grid?
-
Hey Top, this resection method you used is the straightedge method right? To use map and compass ( which you didnt have) you would have to use 2-3 points, then find azmuth and subtract and add to and from 180 to locate spot on map? Can you go over that on a video?

Good video.I have a question.I'm trying to mark out and document an old railroad grade built in 1890 about 45 miles long.Michigan's UP mostly on Timber Co. owned lands.Where there are rock cuts it's obvious but start going through some of the low lands and river crossings you can still make it out barely.What is a good way to mark it on the ground with out being to obvious.Being on timber land sections of trees could be cut at anytime.
