Krik, I watched several videos of "how to use a compass with a map" and yours was the only one that was articulated and demonstrated correctly. Your use of Close Ups, examples and details of each step makes sure that the audience is not left confused. Well done man! Thank you!
Nice video. I really appreciate people like you who take the time to walk us through the process. Great pace, clearly spoken. A+
As someone who has zero sense of direction, and tends to stink at following even simple instructions, I figured I'd have one hell of a time learning to use a map and compass... However, this video is extremely informative, while still keeping it simple and easy for me to follow along!! Major thanks good sir!!
This is an excellent video. I was pretty sure that I understood compass navigation beforehand - your video confirmed and strengthened my confidence. Thanks Krik!
thanks so much for watching and the kind words. and yes, we do have summer, but a lot of our videos are shot underneath the canopy, so the vibrancy of the sun is sometimes hard to capture. - stony
Good video and short but to the point, perfect! Will be looking at some other vids of yours. Thank you!
Fantastic.. takes me back to 8th grade... when school actually taught skills you might need.
My uncle put me in the woods and said good luck.
@GuinnessandPizza they were just trying to get rid of you. I fully understand.
@GuinnessandPizza You have to be trolling....
Great refresher on navigation for me. Thanks very much for posting!
Great video. Very well done and easy to understand. Thank you very much for this.
I have just found your channel. Love the basic outdoor skills videos.
Awesome video!! Thanks for the refresher
Thanks! Easy to understand and simply helpful.
Thanks for a very instructive video. Learned everything I sought to learn before buying a proper compass for my husband for Father's Day.
Its been many years since I last used a map and compass and as I am about to embark on a 3 week walking holiday in Scotland, your simple video has refreshed my skills. I have a GPS but prefer to use the map and compass. Thanks for that!
Thank you for making it so simple and understandable!
As someone who knew almost nothing about a compass I feel so much more directionally empowered (I am awful with directions)! Thank you SO much. The info is very important to know so thank you for teaching me and sharing your knowledge with so many other people. God bless
I like this video! Nice demonstration, while utilizing your style is equally nice!
Thank you! You really explained it well. I've been packing the Suunto compass for years. Never had the chance to use it, even to just practice. I'm heading out today with a friend and we'll be working on compass and map reading. We've got the perfect winter place to hike and practice this without getting totally lost..LOL..
OMG - I GET it! I have had this compass in my backpack (ranger 515) for almost a year and your explanation of using it with map is superb! I took an online class and did not feel confident with it. I think I am ready to use it now!!!!!
Thank you for this video! I just bought a lensatic military compass (Cammenga). I'm a city folk who's trying to get into hunting and I am a newbie when it comes to woods and stuff. Your video, even though it's not the same compass, really helps me understand all the doodads on my compass
I have just watched this video and it was good to go back to basics!!! Many thanks for showing this.
Outstanding video guys. Incredibly informative. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for this video, it is a really in depth explanation of how to use a compass and a map.
I've watched a few videos on this topic and this has to be the best, easiest explanation I've seen. Well done and thank you!
Well, after watching a few videos about using a compass and not understanding anything, this video actually helpoed. Thank You!
Very informative and easy to understand, well done!
Very well demonstrated, easy to follow
Really clear video! Thanks for the upload
thanks for the great info....had to get a refresher and this was on point!
Thanks! I'm a new subscriber and enjoyed a refresher on this. Nice work.
Great video man. Your explanation is simple and concise. Thank you and I look forward to a topographical map video.
that was epically helpful. 11/10! cheers dude!
That was a realy good tutorial. I watched several and you did the clearest explanation and thank you for that.
My students enjoyed watching your video AND learned the information they need to know. Thanks!
amazingly easy to understand. thank you.
You're welcome!

This is something I've really wanted to learn and haven't honest been too lazy to take the time... thank you for the awesome video :) It's a great starter to me setting out and trying some stuff in the alaska wilderness up here come next summer.
Great video, informative and easy to understand.
very good ,thx for helping .you break down easy , that a good thing
Great video! Thanks Krik
Hey Krik, Great video, very informative, keep up the great work.
thank's for the video I really like how you kept it simple.
You made this very easy to understand. Some other channels that I watch have gone over this info and , well it was very confusing . Another good point that you used was the map. Strange how many people carry a compass but not a map. Once you get the compass set put the map in your pack; yes folks, take it with you.
Thanks for the video explaining how to use a mirror compass. It's a big help.
Thanks! Good demonstration.
Definitely going to need this during the summer. Thanks!
Excellent vid. Articulate and obviously knowledgeable. Cheers.
Thanks so much! I just bought a compass for my boyfriend (birthday gift), we do a lot of hiking and he's a much more traditional type of traveler and not too good with the techy stuff. He still knows how to take a reading on a sailboat with a sextant so this is right up his alley. I just bought a recta (basically the same version) and wanted to understand as well, the basics on its uses, so thank you. I hope to get a little bit more into the complexities of its use, but this is a good start!
Awesome video these skills will definitely come in useful this summer.
Thanks for the tutorial on this. Great video!
Great video, thanks for sharing the knowledge.
Great video, thanks for posting!
Great video. Really well done. Thank you.
thanks man. im kinda new in navigation stuff this video really helps
Thank you for the kind words, Curtis. I'm glad the video was easy to understand. That was my sole purpose. -Krik
Thanks Krik! Got it now. Dig the use of reference point. Peace!
Ive had a compass for some time, but I never knew how to use it UNTIL I came across your vid. thank you so very much! :)
That was the best compass/map guide I've been able to find. Simple and to the point.
Thankyou Black Owl.
Is there a topo map tutorial as you said you may do?
I know that I'm super late but I had to say that this is the best explanation I've seen for how to use a compass. Thanks for doing what you do.
Very helpful, thank you! I am a beginner and want to understand how to navigate without a GPS. Some other videos explaining the same thing use a lot of words I've never heard before and don't give a definition, which kind of renders the rest of the lesson useless. But you explained it in pretty simple terms so thank you for that. Some of these videos should really come with a vocab list lol
Nicely done. It helped me a great deal.
Great video, really descriptive.
Thank you!! With a little help from you hopefully I won't get lost archery hunting for the first time. Feel a bit better about navigation now. I will pass on to my little ones.
Great job! Finally a real explaination...
Excellent vid, sir!!! You did not get bogged down in jargon.. I would encourage whoever views this to practice at a local park....lots of landmarks and if curious onlookers want learn so much the better...don't ever buy a compass and stick in it in a rucksack thinking you know to use it....practice and have fun!!!!
Thanks I can say I honesty learned something!
good vid, simple and to the point.
Hey this was really helpful, thanks for the video.
Super simple and really good infromation!
Great video, easy to understand
Awesome video man it was worth the wait
Super helpful. Thanks for sharing
Very useful video. Thanks a lot!
Thank you Krik, really enjoyed it.
Best video of it's sort. Thanks man.
It does! I signed up as an orienteering merit badge counselor for a boy scout troop. I'm so glad I found you on RUclips. Between the BSA booklet and your videos, I just need to try it out on a topo map so I appear as if I know what I'm doing.
EXCELLENT INFORMATIVE OUTDOOR VIDEO. THANKS.
Outstanding video. Thank you.
YES! I finally understand, thank you so much!
Very informative. After watching a handful of videos, I finally get it on this one lol
Thank you so much! This helped me with my exam :) Hope you have a great day.
Brilliant!!!!!! thank you so much!!! at last I understand how to use it!!!!
Thank you very much - great introduction!
A timely topic, learned in the Marine Corps. An extremely valuable skill
very simple and informative,thanks
Great video. Very informative. Camera a little blurry at times but I still understood and gained some information. Thank you!
very well explained sir! thank you
Thanks - very easy tutorial to follow and learn from.
Good video, easy to understand
Very informative, thanks so much.
Finally a navigation video that makes sense!
Before this video i was thinking navigating with map and compas was hard. But after your video i undrstand how it works and looks so easy. Good video. Thanx
Thank you sir!!! VERY HELPFUL!!!
nice and simple great job!
Kirk, this is literally the best video in which explains the proper use of a compass and easy to understand. Thank you! Also, if you've time can you do a video on the topo maps and how to read them? Keep up the great work. - Anthony
Thank you, I'm looking forward to watching it.
Thank you this was great! I understood every step and feel much more confident to use a compass. I know you said these are the basics, but I wish you could do an advanced level one. I learned a bit about the magnetic north but it is confusing how it is used on the map.
Great video. Articulate and helpful.
Real simple, real helpful. A+... Thanks!
very good explanation ! thanks !
Very good vid!! Thanks!
