Liked because Ninja Turtles. I just played a TMNT game. The Ninja are speaking to us.

this was fn awesome!!!

Did you say acid tape?

Google maps are shit.

😂😂😂😂 don't use a hammer for folding 😂😂😂

Speaks quality. I'm subbed now.

Thinking the military is smart and creative and doesn't make things harder on themselves it's the most backward ass thing I've ever heard. There is no difference between stupidity and bravery that's why I'm not a part of the military

The difference between what “life hack” meant that initially made it go viral and what it meant after it became a buzzword

The should teach this in scouting so kids know how to get around without using GPS! I really hope they didn't abandon teaching kids how to use a map because of GPS. I would have loved knowing this when I was a kid back in the '70s and '80s!

@@martabachynsky8545 I don’t know what Scouting teaches currently, but basic map reading and navigation are part of the curriculum my daughter teaches annually to her fourth grade classes.

@@martabachynsky8545 GOOD LUCK SOURCING PRINTED MAPS!

Oh thanks! You just saved me 8 minutes of my time.

Better late than never....?

Fantastic. Way better than the hiker's way. As a fellow heli pilot I admit I've never seen this way before. Pretty tough to fold a hiker's map with the cyclic and collective in hand.

ditto! I had all my maps cut to the size of the window in my flight suit knee!

what is the point cutting the map in middle? i can still do the flip without the cuts

We Aussie folded all our maps when flying

@@alisasmith8272 The point is that you can't. just fold it that way without the cut and try to go to look at each quadrant without making it larger than a quadrant or significant effort pulling the ridge across the center horizontal fold.

I have a 19th century map of Indochina that was printed as 64 5x8cm tiles then glued to silk.

For that, you'd have to have two copies of the map to use the method in the video.

@@cyberherbalist or just flip the map and fold the other way

@@najroe - I suppose that would work. I was thinking that both maps wouldn't be along similar grid lines, but upon further thought, it seems that wouldn't matter.

​@@najroe I suspect the "water resistant material" is simply rag paper, as employed in many applications intended for outdoor use, like a surveyor's notebook (standard yellow hardback pad from York Survey Supplies) that you can write on in a Monsoon so long as you're using a 2B pencil not a biro...

a physical map helped you "conquer" sales ? :D:D Doubt it was only thx to maps man.

@@PigeonSlayer truth is that he used to shoot his competitors.

That makes sense XD@@davidbroadfoot1864

@@davidbroadfoot1864 Hahaha, that’s hilarious!😎

@@PigeonSlayer you are correct pigeon man. The format herein won’t allow for extensive elaboration. Much more went in to making me a success in sales, the maps however were key. It allowed me to maximize my daily sales calls. Prior to Google maps I physically collated, coded, and plotted my dealer locations from A-D. It’s a bit more involved but all I learned drove me there. At the top of the list is knowing the Lord Jesus Christ. Among others things God promised I’d be the head and not the tail. Lived it my whole life. Watch out for the pigeon droppings.😎

Why not make your own case as Andrew showed?

@@jeffcooper9363 Looking for one with a rating for kayaking

You can buy sheets of clear plastic, the kind that is used for map pouches and for windows in tents and stuff. It is not very expensive. Sow the pouch on a showing machine and tape the seam with clear packing tape. You can also weld the seam with a flattening iron. Use a baking sheet over the plastic, and it won't stick to the iron. Extend the pouch about two inches to one side and leave it open. This side is then folded over or rolled a few turns and kept close with a sturdy binder clip. If you press the fold and heat it gently, it takes on that shape and want to stay closed I have made custom waterproof pouches for maps, phones and tablets this way.

I can recommend the Rothco Canvas M-51 Engineers Field Bag. The opening flap on the bag has clear plastic underneath, so you open the bag and there's your map tucked into it

You mean ziplock bags?

ty for you!

Figuring out magnetic variation is madness when using the map for army purposes (unless you are a pilot or similar and cross huge distances). I get it for navigation in the navy being really precise but isn’t it good enough for infantry „generally this direction we will know when we are there“?

@@alexanderzippel8809 It depends where in the world you are. The local variation here is about 26 deg East. If you don't take that into account you're not going to get to where you want to be.

@@mirandahotspring4019 damm thats a big variation. Fair enough then. Where I live the local variation is between 3-4 degrees east. So you can basically ignore it (on land)

@@alexanderzippel8809 When I was in the army we were in Malaysia doing jungle tropical warfare training and the variation there was only about half a degree west so everyone ignored it. But most didn't notice there was a grid variation six deg west as well. Quite a few patrols took a lot longer to get back than they had anticipated. ALWAYS read the margin notes on the map!

Same here.😅👍

At least as of 10 years ago, the Navy was still training their fighter aircrews to make strip charts in this manner. We’d make the cover of the book out of a manilla folder. Rubber cement is fun!

australian or banana fold. prepped many maps for different AOs . then calibrating finger to ground speeds.

#AmericansWillMeasureWithAnythingButTheMetricSystem Yes, I'm also American :)

Was still using it in the early 80s.

Non-military trips pre-GPS, you could get these from AAA for travel. They were called "Trip Tiks" and would be spiral bound at the top so you could "flip through" them as you made your way to your destination. Very handy.

I still teach compass use and map reading to the Boy Scouts for the Orienteering merit badge. Tech is good, but paper maps don't need batteries. Hike on!

Ditto. I made an Australian fold map book of S Korea from Seoul to the DMZ and from the China Sea to half way across the Peninsula. Left it with another pilot when I PCSd. 5 or 6 years later I met a young Warrant Officer fresh from Korea and the first thing he told me was "I have your map book!"

@@steventraum5203 that’s cool! When were you in SK? I flew Kiowa Warriors in The ROK in ‘99 and ‘00 out of Camp Stanton with 4-7 Cav. And, I was the map custodian for the air troops :)

Don't let the team down Cindy. Women can come up with good ideas too!

@@mirandahotspring4019 I am sure they can just not come up with anything yet we are still waiting !! By the way show me one good idea females feminists like you have come up with !! What women actually want when they want "equality" is : - The societal rights “privilege” of men -The social " authority" of a man -The societal rights and privilege of women - The responsibility of neither a man or a woman -The sexual freedom of a wild animal without judgment - The accountability of a child (preferably a baby girl child) - They just want the best of both worlds, worst of none; -They want everything for nothing In short they want a position and role of superiority, without the hassle of responsibility and / or accountability for that position and role Imagine how silly it would sound if an adult male said, “I’m a strong independent man.” Women want to be patted on the back for simply doing shit that men think is just part of being a human. The "equality rights " this type of special privilege is something western world females feel entitled to this special privilege of being able to have a man thrown out of his job and or passed-over for his promotion and having a man canceled solely based on groundless accusations of whatever any female says, without proof or evidence is astonishing !!! And if the man says anything about the jobs going to a lesser experience and less qualified females. and question why top job was given to a female why those females are receiving those jobs and getting special treatment under the umbrella of BUZZ WORDS such as " inclusivity diversity and equity " he is a male pig I don't see any females feminists shouting about inclusivity diversity and equity " For jobs as : Coal mining industry (96.2% men ) Electrical High power lineman ( 94.7% men ) Sewer Cleaners industry ( 98.7% men ) Garbage Collector industry (95.0% men) Oil Rig Roughneck job ( 95.0% men ) Portable toilet cleaner industry ( 98.2 % men ) Deep sea Crab fisherman industry ( 89.9%men) Landfill operators ( 89.2% men) Plumbers (96.5% men) Railroad engineers (95.8% men ) Gutter cleaner industry ( 90.9% men ) Construction workers (93.8% men) ECT ECT ECT .--- I CAN GO ON AND ON BUT YOU GET MY PONT !! And lets be truthful MOST IF NOT ALL of the few % of the jobs referred to above with women in those industries are not working in the dirty and heavy jobs in those industries they are working in Admin , human resources, management portions ect ect

@@mirandahotspring4019 She didnt say "the ingenuity of men" but "...man". Used like this it means mankind.

Because civvies don't need to know this information since they rarely have to navigate using physical maps in this modern era. Still a good idea for such skills to be taught. It's probably one of the most essential life skills a person should know to survive an event.

Get out of the city and do some backcountry backpacking. Plenty of "Civvies" know how to use a map, cut and fold a map, navigate, orienteer, plan a route.

@@BxBxProductionsBruh. This guuuuy lmfaooo

@SteveSherman-ij5gm 😏

I actually use a similar technique to make what was once called the "hipster PDA" - essentially an 8-page book that can be created from a single sheet of paper. It's created almost exactly like the map, but with 8 cells instead of 16.

Can you explain?

@@kieferngruen yes. Fold the map, along the longest axis, in half. You then have a long thin map. Fold the map left then right then left until it is a concertina. You have a map that you have full access to. Used this concept to cover large areas whilst in a cockpit. Not perfect for cockpit use but you can always find a grid.,

What do you mean by "maps IN STEAD of GPS"? Of what use is GPS to you without a map?

@@Octopussyist I referred to the everyday use of the word GPS that is thought of as a map combined with a GPS receiver, centering the map on the GPS position. I wasn't referring to a GPS receiver giving only coordinates. You can still use a map without a GPS to identify your position based on the landmarks read from the map or based on knowing the exact location before starting navigating based on the map. Younger people may have no idea about the difference between the two (GPS-based navigation map vs GPS receiver giving only coordinates) so I did not bother elaborating. Thanks for pointing out.

Even now a days it would be wise to use this technique as a backup. GPS can be disrupted.
