I learned more about topo maps in this 15 minute video than I ever knew before. Thank you for making confusion look so simple. God Bless you.

My teacher barely explained to us anything. This video is a life saver! Thank you

I like how this guy has a clear voice that is also broad, he also understands it himself so others can understand too, I have never ever enjoyed a science video until now.

my whole test is about Topography and i had only understood a bit but this my man, changed everthing

It's a gift to be able to teach people, you are very gifted sir! This was so easy to understand, so easy to retain. Thank you for sharing your gift!

Hands down the best instruction on Topographic maps on KZfaq. Wish there was a download to the worksheets.

you are a great teacher! in a world of miscommunication this is a breath of fresh air :)

Hi Seth, Topography has been the hardest lesson for me by far. This helped me so much and am really happy that I understand this now!, great teacher! don't stop doing what you're doing! -Danny

You just saved me from getting a bad grade on a take-home lab of fluvial processes. Thank you!

Very well explained! My 7th grader understood so well! Thank you from India

U should get an award For being the most understandable teacher I've ever heard 😃😃😃🌍

This is by far the BEST video I have seen on this subject! Very clear and covered all of my questions. Thank you so much!

Excellent! Outstanding video covering most aspects of topo map reading skills that I highly recommend. Marks Van Hecke- Road Scholars Science Olympiad National Event Supervisor 1999 and 2000

I will never look at these again and just call them lines😌 thank you sir.

Thanks for this video! I look forward to sharing it with my children and working through our state park topographical maps together.

Dude, you tought this in 15 minutes and it took my teacher weeks to teach us this! And still I've learned more from this video

Thanks for the demo. Perfect topo basics for my deer hunting efforts. Just what I was looking for!

Nu? Such a great presentation has never before been offered. Thank you.

I passed my test because of this 👏🏻

Thanks for the detailed video sir. You literally went over in 15 minutes what it took my professor 1 hour to explain.

Very informative and interesting lesson! If one is a "peakbagger" and wants to hit a random summit, there may be a peak with an elevation between 6,440'-6,480.' The peak, if the precise elevation is not known, would be labeled Peak 6,440'+. It will not show a label "Peak 6440'+" on the map, but it will be understood. The plus sign means that it falls between the contours of 6,440' and 6,480', so possibly 6,441' and 6,479'. I have found many fun cross-country peak hikes using topo maps!

Wow.. Thank you so much for the info... So cool, and you made it really easy to understand

Very informative for my midterm tomorrow . This video was actually better taught that my teacher .

I enjoy the short concise explanations. I had to rewind a few times but it was so worth it!

Wow! Thank you for making this clear, concise, and very easy to understand video. This made it so much easier to visualize features when looking at a map. This was perfect as I continue my journey to become a better navigator.

If I was a professor I would just show my students this awesome video.... this is the best video!!! thank you:).

Very good explanation, and hats off to your ability to simplify this for all of us! Thank you for your service.

Very well explained! Thanks for the careful explaination.

Superb explanation, I feel prepared for my quiz because of you, thank you!

This video was so helpful thank you very much! I feel like I really understand this where my professor leaves us to pretty much figure it out on our own in labs without even explaining it.

I'm studying to be a geologist--- missed a class on topography and this helped to catch me up to speed. Great video!

This was a very clear presentation. Very easy to follow and understandable. Thank you.

I have got exams tomorrow and thanks to you, I got a lot of information on topo map. GOD BLESS YOU!

Thanks I have a test tomorrow and I don't understand geo and honestly I understand this now thanks heaps. I have half yearly tomorrow not so good studying the night before but your a grade saver

thank u so much for this video! I am taking an online class and couldn't quite understand my instructor. your video made every thing crystal clear and now I am able to do my homework after much blood sweat and tears lol thank u!

Thank you so much on the video, I am currently doing GSAR and this will certainly help out.

Why is it that always the best teachers are found on KZfaq?

So happy I saw this video. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you a lot my teacher didn't explain it well at all but I understand it more now. Thanks excellent video!

OMG, I am learning by myself some useful terms. And I am so grateful for this content upload on KZfaq, it was really great to watch it, I learned a lot and it was practical.

Wow! This is much knowledge I have acquired in a matter of minutes.

Thank You so much, you explained everything so well.

Great explanation of topographic maps!!! This helps a lot!!

This video was excellent , you are an amazing teacher Seth!

All the dislikes are from the teachers who can't teach like you....god bless you...love from India

This was amazing. I'm going to keep learning. Thank You.

OMG THX SO MUCH! I NEVER PAY ATTENTION IN GEO AMD I HV A YEARLY EXAM IN A FEW WEEKS AND THUS HELPED ME SO MUCH!!

This is amazing. you have explained in such a manner that even the layman can understand.

Thank you so so much Seth! Needed this for my geography 101 lab today. Appreciate you!

Teaching myself navigation / orienteering and this is one of the first videos I should have watched. At this point I think one needs to learn map and topo basics *1st* before diving deep into compass use. Otherwise you end up needing to reverse engineer what is being shown in compass use videos more often than not. I found that learning what the colors mean on a topo map further rounds out the knowledge base in this subject for IRL nav.

You really have a talent for teaching. You got more done in 15 mins than many professors I’ve had.

Thanks for the video! Great job explaining how to read a topo map. Perfect for my sub plans tomorrow! Now my kids won't miss a beat! Cheers.

You explain this SOOOO much better than my science teacher, I actually think I might not fail my test!

Thank god I found this video had zero clue what topography was and i have a test tomorrow xD thanks!

Amazing lesson in 15 minutes ! Thank you so much

HI! TOPOGRAGHY WAS A DIFFICULT TOPIC AND YOU HAVE MADE SO CHEAP AND MORE INTERESTING FOR MY SISTER .THANK YOU SO MUCH. KEEP UP
