@ez2curanut Portuguese and Spanish share about a 50% commonality in vocabulary but pronunciation is very different. Grammatical structure is very similar. Most people rank Spanish as the easier to learn with Portuguese being about as difficult as French.
@enjoythewildUSA "Per Ardua" is Latin for "Through Difficulty". The course is designed to teach leadership skills as well as wilderness survival. It also pushes them very naturally out of their comfort zone and is intended to show them they can endure hardship. I have found the camo helps them get into the right frame of mind.
@enjoythewildUSA This is actually something we have to be careful about. It is against the law here to wear a full set of Brazilian camo. One student showed up in a full set FAB camo (Força Aérea Brasileira = Airforce) the one with blue in the mix. I have two sets of Brazilian Army camo but only wear the top jacket as a rule. There's no problem wearing foreign camo here so I often use a full set of US Army Woodland which works very well here.
Interesting video. I have several questions. Being that your south of the equator, and so far from the north pole, was there much need to compensate for degree's of declination for true north vs. mag north?
@kanukster I was explaining that in part of the video. Declination for the place we were in was 22 degrees W. As for triangulation this was very dense jungle about 10 meters of visibility off trail. I was teaching them how to stay on course in dense brush until we intersected a trail we were headed for.
@Colhane Thanks for the reply back. Yeah, very dense jungle. I thought maybe when you climbed higher up, you might be introducing them to some triangulation techniques. My portugese is limited. Good video all a round. NNFRB
@kanukster This area was "Mata Atlantica" basically single canopy tropical forest. In the higher elevations we get into Cerrado which is much more open, almost like desert. I prefer teaching navigation up there but learning dense bush skills is also necessary as you transition into this kind of terrain even in the Cerrado.
@toliverfive In tick season here (winter) I do wear tan colored pants. We shot this in rainy season and you can get pretty dirty. It didn't rain much on this trip. US Army woodland works well here as does the Brazilian pattern.
Olá Mc, eu tenho uma fonte que consegue mapas topograficos das regiões do Brasil online.

Parabéns por mais um vídeo com um grande valor de aprendizado, eu acreditava que sabia me orientar pela bússola.

Cuidado com o uso da bússola com o espelho. Está sendo usada de forma equivocada (trecho de 8 minutos e 15 seg)...
Arruma isso daí...

@topmoises Voce esta 100% correto. Foi feito assim por falta de tres bussolas iguais.

Parabéns por sua didática. Quando em Brasília visite o Esquadrão de helicópteros do grupamento de aviação operacional do CBMDF. Abraço forte!

looks interesting, and allthough my native language is also of latin descent, i can't really understand much. I understood "magnetic north"

@Colhane Oh, I see. Wow that IS a sensitive subject. Good luck to you in your training. Heck, I know that I would benefit from it.

Did you get a chance to do some triangulation?

Thanks to these vids, I'm getting better at picking up Portuguese words here and there, but i still suck.
Why don't you guys wear lighter desert-type camouflage? I wear light stuff so i can see the bugs on me.
