I first discovered Dave in a series of books I found on a shelf in a cabin in the remote woods. Solid dude.

A simple but very interesting project David...!

That's pretty slick, I think I may find my blanket pin and put some marks in it like you did.

I think you should add a nice 38/357 magnum revolver to your kit. It is a very versitile platform, being able to take small game from rabbits and squirrels, to deer and even larger hooved game, protectiom from Bear and Moose, protection from 2 legged Jackesses, even snake shot if needed. They come in all sizes and weights, and you can plink cheap with 38 special. Some can even be converted to allow you to shoot 9mm and 380. A very versitile tool indeed.

That’s on point. Should really help when you’re traveling.

That is a very cool use! I think I’m going to mark off my blanket pin in 15 degree increments, add in a large nail, which I carry anyway for punching holes. With a weight and string to serve as a plumb Bob, to get a right angle. I think I will mark off the full 360 degrees for other uses. Thank you! As always you provide excellent information.

Cool idea. Variant of the stick in the ground method. You are not surveying, you are navigating.

I luv this. Solar navigation is a recent interest, so I'm really enjoying seeing all of the different ways to practice. I went out last weekend & pretty successfully used your technique from another video of lining up with a shadow and doing half left/ right face movements to find north. Great idea to tweak the blanket pin to make it a multi use item.

It should be clearly noted that in some places, such as here on the Puget Sound, where the magnetic declination is about 20°, that sun compass is way more accurate than a magnetic compass that cannot compensate for magnetic declination, because it points to the geographic pole, not the magnetic pole.

Daylight savings time is the worst. Noon should be high noon, when the sun peaks. Yes, technically timezones mess up noon even without DST. But not as badly.

If it's high carbon steel you may be able to use it as a flint and steel too.

@forgedwildernessinstinct6852 3 ай бұрын

This was great Dave! I have a question. What if a person doesn't have a watch or compass. Is it possible to align the blanket pin on a North/South line? Thanks for the video. I love this idea!
