Dave you are a treasure and a blessing. You will be remembered for your contributions even more than people like Kephart and Kochanski! I can't wait to take classes with you, I was hoping to actually take a class with a couple friends and my father as a bachelor party 😂😂😂 but can't afford that just yet, so now I'd like to take a class in 2025 instead!
Dave your videos are an incredible source of knowledge and I can’t thank you enough for provide all your knowledge for free ! You’re amazing . Also I love that hat!
Okay - after watching Part 11 of this series I'm starting at the beginning. Damn good series on land navigation . Dave knows how to teach it! Stay the course...
Dave, I personally know many people who struggle with navigation simply because of the math involved. I try to explain on most base they have the reverse azimuth... and also I think that the terminology gets people as well. It's all relatively simple... and the declination always throws people off too. Even if you tell them they only need it when mapping.. they get confused. Great stuff Dave, thank you for helping us all help ourselves and others! This is how the world should work! Thank you GOAT!
I really enjoy all of your navigation videos & am grateful that you share access to your land to get a real world opportunity to safely break bush & navigate
Good video but I'm going to stick with my Army Issue Lensatic .It worked for me for over 20 years before I Retired and 11 years since I Retired from the Army and it's never let me down. I've had 2 GPS units and both let me down and twice I've had Cell Phone GPS get me lost right inside of a town .
Phone compasses suck... thought i could rely on it and ended up being turned around for couple hours. Picked up a silva compass to carry out from now on... Looking forward to the series 👍
I don't understand what is wrong with using the US military compass. I do get not having the mirror to use for signaling and seeing your face. But, what are the issues beyond those two uses?
These is nothing wrong with them and I prefer them sometimes but for civilian teaching as well as accuracy these type compasses are better on trail, the US style compass was really designed originally for using in mils with a Map for things like calling for fire etc.. many of the more advanced groups in the US Mil went to baseplate and Mirror compasses before electronics got so fancy for movement over land and map navigation
I am guilty of one time, leaving all of my navigation instruments and know how behind because someone else knew the trails and knew the area. Bad mistake. Never again.
No one in modern times has contributed more to the outdoor community…kudos Dave

WOW am I looking forward to this series! I have always struggled with navigation. You explain everything so well. Thanks Dave!
You are a great teacher. You and Matt were the best on Dual Survival.

Good stuff Dave, looking forward to the entire navigation series!
Thankyou Dave, it's always a pleasure.
Thanks for the info I'd go to a class but I'm a poor as single dad and army vet maybe one day I'll b able to afford it I can dream right
I enjoyed part one. Looking forward to part two
Great information thanks for sharing.
as an archeologist we had to learn land nav and surveying to map sites, and plot gridlines and test lines. its very useful for group hunting.
Dave is the King
Locus is one of the best for use with android phones....

Why is the Pathfinder protractor inverted compared to a military protractor?
Ease of use
I love your hat. Where do I get one?
Good video
Enjoyed it Thanks
Navigation is my weakest point. Appreciate the video.
Good stuff! Thanks
👍
🇺🇸🙋♀️🐴🍃 I still have paper maps, always good to have.
I have a bag of button compasses, so I glue them to things like my bear whistle, emrtgency radio, etc.
I would add that a lensatic compass is another type they may come across
Of course I use one myself at times as well as a surveyor’s but trying to stick with simple stuff in this series
I glued my button compass to my bear whistle (a spots or coache)whistle, which hangs on my neck.

I was wondering why you do not mention an Engineer's compass ?
