Nathan Kingerlee explains how to use a compass and a map to navigate

[EddyOrwell]

Is it me or do all these compass teaching freaks look like serial sex pests?

[aquaphone]

@EddyOrwell I think that's just you fantasizing, lol.

This is about the correct posture to read a compass, not on how to use it.

not a bad video but honestly "magnetic variation" should be thought from the outset to avoid bad habits and later confusion, my 2 cent. Otherwise well thought out content and emphasis.

Best vid I've seen on the subject. He does what any good public speaker does: tell you what he's abouit to tell you, tells you, then tells you what he just told you.

Should you first orient the map with the compass so that the map grids are aligned North to South. A

[panzerbaer]

You say you have to stick to the compass bearing. You can navigate around bogs/ponds etc. by adjusting your direction and counting pases.

(Say -45d a 230 paces(called a leg)+90d a same leg of 230 paces; again turn -45d and be on your original bearing.)

(Done square:-90d, pacecount,+90d (original bearing, but off line),+90d same pacecount,-90d on original bearing in line.)

May I ask why you need to stand feer apart? And what is the best place to store a compass (say to the next hike/trek)?

[RPLAsquith]

Thanks for the tips!! Very clear instructions.
