Navigating with a map and compass is one of the most fundamental skills anyone who spends time in the outdoors needs to master.
Mike Jones aka Garand Thumb spent a good portion of his career teaching military personnel how to survive in a variety of environments. Leveraging his expertise he’s produced this video to help others learn the fundamentals up to medium capability.
Here’s the video description:
Learn the fundamentals of land navigation with a map, compass, and protractor. This video covers essential skills from reading and plotting MGRS coordinates to applying magnetic declination correctly. We’ll also demonstrate how to navigate between points, use practical movement techniques, and even cover burden carrying methods for real-world field conditions. Whether you’re preparing for military training, outdoor survival, or just want to sharpen your backcountry skills, this guide provides the medium-difficulty level instruction you need to become confident with traditional navigation tools.
Check it out below for what he describes as a full hour and 36 mins of knowledge and autism.
I’m curious if every time he makes a video it will get posted on SS, or if this is a standout piece due to everyone needing to brush up on map and compass? Not being snarky or critical, just more curious than anything.
Thanks.
I posted it because YT made it age restricted.
Thanks. Time for him to find more hosting sites, because YT is going to lock him down pretty soon if they are restricting map and compass videos.
