While out practicing and with a fresh set of batteries, one the batteries malfuctioned and my GPS was useless. This motovated me to stick with a compass . The GPS will only be used as backup. USFS maps are good, but another type the USFS offers has longitude and latitude and old and closed roads for check points.

It's much more accurate to do the right way, aligning the protractor base plate with north lines. And don't forget to compensate for the projection (or use the right lines) and declination.
-
most maps have the top of the map faceing north, so aligning the compass "north" along with the map gives your basic bearing. although UK OS maps have a compass "north" bearing printed on them to align your compass to.
Having yourself along with the map facing north is a great starting point for navigation :P
TBH everyone should learn how to navigate with only map and compass, or even with only a map at first.
so that if your GPS electronic mapping kit fails, you can still easily navigate.

Great video, but on another note, here is something I learned today...
Websters Dictionary "Pinch a Loaf"...
Using your sphincter muscle to "pinch" a loaf of shit that is hanging halfway out your ass and won't drop of its own accord. Example:
"Hurry up and finish taking a shit Gertrude, were already late! Pinch the loaf if you must!"
-
Could you do a video using only a compass and map and show how to find your way from camp (point a) to point b and back to camp.

he lined the map up so he doesn't have to read it upside down. The GPS will tell him where to go in relation to his new position on a map which is right-side up
-
you have two needles on that compass? magnetic and true north?
