You really should make more worksheets like this one! It's really hard for me to find worksheets like this to practice with and this was a really awesome one I greatly appreciate it. If you know anywhere that may have more similar to this please let me know!
Hey bro im former navy first gulf war vet all ship board. This is a skill ive always wanted to learn, especially now, and just want to thank you for putting this info out for me and others like myself to learn and master it.
Just found the channel this morning. Thanks for it. Most YT "instructional" videos suck. Either whoever made the video is just rewording something they saw or read and only has a modicum of knowledge on the subject, or is just winging it with very little forethought on how to best present the information. Neither one of those things seem to be the case in the 3 hours or so worth of videos I've seen so far. So again, Thank you. Your efforts are appreciated.
I am Stoked! This was a great exercise! Thanks for the download of an actual military map. Really enjoyed it and was able to apply what I learned from your past videos. Hope you are able to do more of these in the future.
Yes, yes, oh hell yes. I watched and saved this one to my "Tactical" folder, along with a bunch of your other videos. I also downloaded the map, and screenshot the Amazon listed protractor. Been a long, long time since I've done any orienteering. Seriously looking forward to doing this. Thank you.
Thanks for this exercise, I used my Brunton TruArc baseplate compass for coordinate and direction measurements. Really built my confidence using this tool. The roamer has to be used inverted to place the template hole appropriately but worked great. I got the Brunton after watching one of your earlier videos.
Great video and as usual I loved it even though I’m having printer problems. I’m glad to hear you are changing to a U.S.G.S. 24,000 map. 50,000 is too small a scale!
Great excercise. Completed the printout yesterday and watched to see my results using just a baseplate compass with scale. Pretty much on the money. Note to self...... check your working out as I had one incorrect answer. Loved it. Being in New Zealand I didnt have to turn the map upside down 🤣🤣🤣
lol I haven't used a grid like that since doing bomb damage assessment during Viet Nam. Good old UTM grids and Army Map Service maps. Great fun plotting a course today!
While in the USMC I never saw a map protractor we were taught to find the coordinates without it. Later in the Army during I skills test I was handed a protractor had no idea what it was so I put it aside and correctly marked out the coordinates, the tester failed me because I did not use the protractor. After receiving protractor training I retested had the same answer but this time I was graded as a pass. Protractors do make it easier and less chance of error.
I’m new to this type of stuff.. great video.. it wold be awesome if you made more maps like these, different locations different set of instructions to master the skill..just a thought
Greetings Mr. Stoker, what do you think of a compass that has a protractor etched into its base? ...like the Brunton TruArc 10 Base Plate Compass? I wonder, I am concerned, that I would lose a separate thin, lightweight, plastic film protractor. R, Steve
@@STOKERMATIC Thanks for the response. I heard you say the military Cammenga was your preferred compass. ...then you threw its at a tree. HaHa. Thank you.
I'm new to your Channel I really like to channel and I really like the Land Navigation I'm learning how to do it I am not military or nor in my former military I would like to join your channel and learn more I'm in the process of getting my protractor and nucompass the lands attic like you have so I can start doing this for real but I do save your videos
Hey man, I just checked for Germany , we only have to add 5 to get from Ng to Nm. I was wandering why the never put it on smaler maps in Germanistan now I know. Thanks for the Video, I am still practecing and it is real fun.
Hi Stoker... I just downloaded and started your class. The first thing I noticed is that the map legend doesn't specify 1:50,000 meters. Other than looking closely at your protractor how would I know
How do you get the degree numbers on the map in the yellow circles instead of along the side? Oh and I love this worksheet. I learn better by doing. Thank you.
Another reason for not heading straight to your destination and using an offset is you most likely will not end up at the exact destination so you intentionally offset so when you get to the final leg you know which direction the final point is from you. Without the offset it might be to your right maybe left you may not know.
Nice, I also have the army issue from 08 and yeah, it's also cut a little off with some empty space on the vertical but not on the horizontal. Been a few years, thanks for the refresher! One question regarding the spiral approach: let's say it's OBJ delta as in this example and we're approaching from echo. Rather than moving direct 230, what is a field expedient method for moving 270 first, say, in order to observe and then cross the north road while keeping the exact objective location south of us accurate? Do you subtract degrees by pace count? And how do you keep it to your 3 o'clock as you spiral in? Is it something that can only realistically be done when the objective is directly visible, e.g. not at night or in dense forest without terrain landmarks?
I hear a couple questions. To the first one, don’t make it field expedient. Make it planned. Plot and measure to where you want to go. No, don’t subtract degrees by pace count. More than just a circle, you can box in to ensure you don’t lose site of objective. Just have to trust your pace count and direction.

Right on!
I really enjoyed that, I would like to see more stuff like this.
As would I, Top!

Love your content!! Start to finish. When, where, how, and why
Outstanding!!
Great refresher video, thanks for posting it Bill!!
You bet!

I agree. I'm stoked to do this exercise. I'll let you know when complete!

Yup Top,that lime green instrument does it again!
Had a 1st sgt who carried "a government issued 90mm recoilless Skillcraft". Said it was able to kill a soldier's career.
Hell yeah!
Great exercise! Thank you Sir. I would love to see more of these videos
Good video. GOD bless. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.

😂🤣😂
😂🤣😂🤣 Do people in Afghanistan read it right to left?
Great exercise,thank you!
THIS WAS AWESOME. Great job. do more thank you
Thanks, just what I need.
I am very much looking forward to this video. But I have to wait until my map protractor arrives in the mail.
Thurston County, Washington don't like flat terrain...good video👍👍
Indeed.

Good job Sir

Had one, it broke on me.
But it came in handy before that.

That's crazy lol. Just realized it was a local map that I actually have in my glove box

Shouldn't RP Tango's MG be 12 since we're using -17 to convert GA to MG?

Loved this exercise, btw. Thanks!
you right!

For this one (the numbers)I did the work myself

What was the figure four thing at the end of the video? Where can I learn more about that?

Stoker what website did you use to get that map. I would like to try to get one of my area.

Didn't you only subtract 12ﾟ of declination to get your magnetic heading on rally point tango instead of 17?
