This video was extremely informative. In fact, despite that we inhabit 2 different continents, the information you provided is very easily transferred to any country.
As such, I will pass this on to my people to potentially use as a teaching tool for our local cadets to have a thorough grasp on orienteering and M&C skills.
Thank you for your very well versed explanations. This is why I prefer longer format videos
I’ve been walking and navigating my way around Dartmoor all my life. I consider myself quite good at reading a map but when I’m asked to explain how I do it or to teach a family member how it’s done, I’m useless. From now on I will just tell them all to watch, subscribe and share your channel . You explain things in such a fantastic way, be it map reading or about equipment, you are a joy to watch. Thanks Sheamus .
Thank you Jason 😊 I really am very happy if I can help 😊👍🐶
At last someone who doesn't talk down, just explains simply and calmly. Many, many thanks & one more subscription!
Thank you 😊👍🐶
Fabulous and really interesting Shamus and Petra👍
Thank you John, I appreciate that 😊🐶👍
👍 Good vid. Takes me back to my Ten Tors days 30 years ago. Will be going back with my 5 year old soon so came here to swot up on forgotten skills.
I've subscribed because you didn't use your single malt. What sacrilege! Very informative and clearly presented tutorial. Many thanks shamus.
Thank you 🙏🏻
Clear explanation of a critical skill.
Thank you Bryan 😊👍🐶

Great vid. I need to learn map reading skills for my ultra running. This was an absolutely fantastic place to start out. Thank you and I appreciate your time in the making👍👍
Thank you 🙏🏻
...a very professional video: great audio and visuals. A lot of excellent camera work. Petra is a beautiful "silly" dog.
Excellent introduction to using a OS Map and compass.
Terrific video and now subscribed. I confess that I really didn't get the aiming off concept until I saw this - thank you.
Thank you Kevin 😊 Unless it’s demonstrate, I expect aiming off may appear like just ‘getting it wrong’ - thank you for taking the time to watch and comment 😊👍🐶
What an excellent educational video. Great upload. Thank you.
Thank you 😊
Great tuition Shamus I'll be watching this a number of time so it sinks in.
Thank you 😊 I hope it helps 😊👍🐶
Greetings from Ireland! - Why is RUclips such a success? Well the answer is quite simple really - It's because of the generosity of people like Shamus McCaffery, who go to the great effort in making these time consuming, very helpful and informative videos. They so freely share and pass on their knowledge and experience to make life easier for us. Thanks Tom
Sláinte and thank you, that’s very kind 😊👍🐶

Brilliant, could listen to you all day ? You need to write a little pocket book thanks
What an informative video, simply done and understandable. Thank You.
Expertly explained
Thank you 😊
Stumbled across this video after looking for tutorials on map reading. Thank you for a straightforward clear and concise explanation.

This was fantastic. Thank you, so well explained and very entertaining - LOVED Petra-cam. Subscribed.
Thank you 🐶👍😊
Spent last weekend wild camping on the Moor to give my daughter practice for her D of E. Wish we'd seen this video before... Would've helped so much!
How are you Shamus? I've missed seeing new videos these last few months. Please let us know you are OK. 😊
thank you sir, after 7 hours of searching for someone to explain map and compass skills I have finally found a guy with the right amount of knowledge and vocabulary skills that even the most docile of people would understand.
Thank you Ian 😊 I really appreciate that 😊👍🐶
One of the best videos on taking a bearing etc. Thanks to you and Petra for taking the time.
Hi Kate, thank you 😊
Succinctly put, Seamus, subscription incoming!
Thank you 😊 I do appreciate that 😊👍🐶
Really excellent and well put together video. Having done my Chief Scouts Award 30 years ago (! :-)) - I like to think I know this stuff- but there was lots in it for me, and lots of clarity for anyone with an interest, at any level.
Thank you 😊 Chief scout aware, that sound like quite an honour you gained 👍😊🐶
@@outdoorsinspiration9284 Seemed like a big thing at the time. A stubborn part of my brain likes to think it means I know all about this sort of stuff despite barely having touched a compass in 30 years. Great to have well made videos which remind me that I really don't know as much as I think, and which remind me to brush up before roaming anywhere silly! And which also inspire me to get out and do some roaming. Thanks for your efforts.
@@solasta Thank you 😊
By far my favourite youtuber, you should have a lot more subscribers 👍🏻
Hi Shamus ,watched video about navigation and it inspired me to get out and practice resectioning which I have wanted to practice for a while ,went to a place I know well and tried it and it worked, thanks for the inspiration .
Thank you Roger - That's absolutely brilliant 👍😊🐶
I learned so much,so easy to understand you thanks
Thank Simon 😊 I'm glad it was helpful 👍
Superb video, very useful, thanks so much for taking the time to do this 👌
G'day from Australia. I really enjoyed your video your very imformative video and what a good idea to have a light on Petras vest. Keep up the good content videos.🦘
One of the best nav videos I’ve watched 5 stars from me
This is a fantastic video! Thank you very much!
Thank you 😊
Just brilliant ! It’s been 40 years since I used a map and compass to navigate and had no recollection of how to use them properly. Your easy going approach and clear instruction in this video has been invaluable. Well done 👍
Very informative, thank you!
This was just what I needed! Thank you! Great video :)
Great explanation! Needed a refresher on DDCRAPS and this video is spot on, thank you.
Thank you, much appreciated 🐶👍😊
Any advice on how to spot a mire, and what to do if get into one? Is it true they can sink a pony? (it was this thought that made me fall horizontally and 'swim' to safety last weekend 😲
I don’t normally add comments but this was a really good video, there was a lot of content and it was explained very well, I can see you have done this before, I will agree when you say when you walk on a bearing in thick fog it is difficult to hit what you have set your bearing too. I spent one day walking the pennine way on peat bog having to cover a distance of about 25 miles and I was on my own you learn quickly. But great video I am teaching my son as we are going out soon for his first walk on a national park. Thanks
Thank you, Paul 😊 Good luck with the walk with your son, I hop ehe has a great time 😊👍🐶
Awesome video, really helped with my learning. A lunch break well spent. Thank you
Brilliant, mate!!
Interesting presentation, but really wonderful to listen to. Thank you.

Excellent video shamus, learnt some new skills! 👌
Fantastic, Stephen 👍 Thank you 😊👍🐶

Evening, Malcom 😊 As you're here to tell the tale, we'll have to assume you successfully escaped 👍😂😊
Very well done! Thanks for the effort.
From a yank, lovely Michigan.
What an excellent video, very well explained and informative, I do lots of walking with my children on known trails but want to learn how to navigate with a map and compass, will enjoy trying this out on familiar routes at first to try and fathom it with the family.
Keep up the good work , just subscribed.
Hi Richard, thank you 😊👍
cracking video, learned a lot, we used to use a type of abacus bead on a string to record our hundred meter lots.....gotten lazy this last decade or so....will get out on a short route i know ...practice... then try somewhere new... thanks so much for the inspiration... 🤗
Thank you very much for taking the time to watch 😊👍🐶
Great video! You’ve unboggled my brain a bit there, thanks Shamus.
Hi Chris, thank you 👍😊🐶

Aná Mhaith Séamus . Best navigation video on RUclips. Excellent 🇮🇪🇮🇪
Ta very much, Tony. When I get back into the swing of the videos I thought it would be good to throw in some ‘navigation mini skills’ to the wild camping videos.
Great video, just discovered your channel and really enjoying catching up on all the videos.
I'm just starting. You were brilliant. I feel a little more confident and enthusiastic to get orienteering. Many thanks
Excellent video, great thanks 👍

Thank you, Robert 😊👍🐶
Very well done. Thank you ☺️

Great Video, Thansk for sharing.
Thank you 😊👍🐶
Spent hours watching vids to try and get my head around a map and compass, this one I really like!!! Some really good tips! 😊
Thanks for putting in a top class effort to produce this quality video. I’m currently teaching my lad some map reading/hiking skills but now I think I’ll just forward him a link to this and send him off into the Black Mountains while I stumble around the watering holes in Crickhowell seeing as my knees are giving me some bad ass stick. Only kidding 🤔
Fantastic advice!
Thank you 👍😊🐶
One of the best navigation videos I've seen. Thank you 🙏
Much appreciated 😊👍
thanks for this fab video - I'm a bit out of practice with ap reading and compass work, this really helped me get re-orientated (as it were!)
I’m glad the video helped you ‘find your bearings’. Thanks for watching 😊👍
Outstanding!
Thank you for watching 😊👍🐶
Fantastic , I have learnt a few things from this. I will be out this week for some practice. Thankyou
A really helpful video, thank you and Petra too
