Another good video Paul! As a scout counselor/instructor, I highly recommend BSA Merit Badge pamphlets and field manuals for beginners to learn from. These pamphlets are designed for younger children so are easy to read and have plenty of photos and diagrams, they are readily available through local scout organizations and amazon, and are not very expensive. Some of the relevant topics include navigation, knot tying, pioneering, camping, survival, tracking, first aid, etc. I even use them in my classes outside of scouts to civilians/families etc.

Mapping is very important, learning how to read maps is a must, meaning the scales, magnetic deviation, legends, and reading contour lines for water flow directions. Excellent video.

I would be interested in a video of urban maps to get a better understanding. Thanks for what you are doing and keep up the good work.

Great idea for map add-ons. Good video Paul. Urban mapping would be cool. Thanks.

Yes interested in an urban map video

Would definitely be interested in an urban map video 😎

Let’s see some urban map videos! I honestly haven’t considered the need for them. I bet it’d be great information to have!

Good video and nice timing. I'm actually editing a beginner level video that will be released later this week that incorporates pace count will using a local trail map at a nature preserve. Finding access to good terrain to bushwack is hard to find so I appreciate you sharing your experiences.

Good video Paul, thanks for sharing, God bless !

Hello- This is a very good way to ass resources and other details. Having the distances as your map does would be a nice help. Most people just plug in spots on the GPS and call it good, but with transferring those items to the topo map, you get a birds eye view from your last known location. Having taught Land Nav before, it can be quite confusing to some when trying to cram as much information in, within a limited timespan. When I taught Land Nav(time permitting), the "crawl, walk, run" method seemed to work best. Thanks for the video and be safe out there- Carry On-

Great video, I've alway have been a big fan of maps and a compass.

That area looked really familiar. Nice video.

what compus do you have?
