Tip Of The Week - "Resection" - How To Determine Your Location With A Map And Compass (E9)

IntenseAngler's "Tip Of The Week" - Episode 9. How to accurately determine your position with a map and compass. This navigation tip is not only a useful outdoor skill to have, but one which may be a life saver as well. This week's tip is brought to you by our special guest host, Paul from BCoutdoorsurvival. Thank you Paul.

About "Tip Of The Week":
In this new weekly series we will be sharing some wide-ranging outdoor centered tips, tricks, ideas, and "how-to'" videos in a short, concise, and to-the-point manner. A new video will be posted every Friday (as interest dictates).

As part of this new series, I will be featuring a different channel each week in the "intro" segment of the video. If you would like your channel featured (or simply want to support the series), please contact me via PM and we can easily set that up. Your participation will be greatly appreciated! I look forward to hearing from you!

The NS/EW grid lines do not point to true north. They are simply the map maker's north. When using a map and a compass all you are interested in is the magnetic azimuth to a landmark (read from the compass) and the ability to change the magnetic azimuth to a grid azimuth (using the declination diagram and adding or subtracting the G-M angle) in order to plot it on the map. The G-M (Grid to Magnetic and vice versa) angle conversion can also be tricky.

Wow, this is the best tutorial that I've seen on You Tube regarding Resection. Paul's explanation was very easy to follow and the great video editing really put it all together. Sure made it more fun that a blackboard instructional! Thanks a bunch! : )
