I've been out of the Army for over 20 years and haven't done land nav since. I'm so grateful you put this on here. Pat Mac you are a great teacher ..keep it up man
-
No matter how good you are or were at land nav getting a refresher is always good!
-
I've been in the army national guard for 6 years and the army reserves for a little over a year, I can confirm that we still do fundamental old school land nav. Its still a thing!

What most civilians don't understand is that GPS can be spoofed (false signals or interference caused by a land based transmitter). Military grade GPS equipment can't be spoofed but if you don't have access to that gear, map and compass is your only other option.

I could have used this skill when I got lost on a nature hike in brown county Indiana way back in 98 😂 actually learned something and I’m waiting for the 2nd part…
-
I loved being my platoon's navigator. Semper Fi
-
I’m on a hotshot crew with the USFS, awesome refresher. Going to teach my wife once I’m back home from this fire!
-
Passing on knowledge. Basic dude stuff. 🤘🏻
-
Pat you are an awesome teacher. Thanks for this video! "Polaris!"
-
FYSA, Land Nav is now being added back into the Army's NCO Basic Leader Course. It's a much needed reintroduction.
-
man i feel dumb. i have watched this 2 times now. another dozen or so and i may catch on.
-
I retired in 2017 from the military and the one thing I remember is that even in the military, it was always hard to find a good Land Nav Instructor. Land Nav is a very difficult subject to teach. Thanks for making this easy to understand Pat Mac!
-
Straight forward, not over complicated and spoken in lamens terms for a novice to understand immediately. Awesome work boss!
-
Good stuff. It’s actually scary how devolved land navigation instincts are in everyone.
-
It's important for boaters as well. I learned how to use a sextant many years ago, but a skill I try to refresh myself with on an annual basis. Bowditch is a great reference for all boaters.
-
Thanks for the refresher Pat Mac!!
-
Great info/refresher that all patriots should know. I am a firm believer in being able to accomplish things w/o tech. I hv started teaching this and a host of others to my 4yr old granddaughter. Jump Tough Pat Mac!
-
Awesome video for a novice who wants to learn these things. It's like learning how to fight, the more you learn, the more confidence grows.
-
Pat really is absolute mastery of the basics. No bullshit just unadulterated skill.

Man I love when you do navigation videos. I'm a land surveyor and you're correct, map navigation is dying, also in my trade. Keep'em coming bro!
