Dude, a simpler way of measuring the paper or string is to align the end on the largest number ( 4 as in the video ) then simply read backwards on the small scale without having to move and realign. Or with the chain hold your marked spot on the chain on the 4 ( in this case ) and the end will extend over the small scale and again just read backwards down the scale.

After 40+ years I guess I need to start carrying my dog tags again. The tip about each click on the lensatic compass is mighty handy. Carry on.

We learned that you can do the same just with your compass cord much faster as you don’t need to take your dogtag off

I think he was using the chain to measure curves, you could use string but tends not to stay put. You could do it with a compass I agree but I think he's making a point of making life easier ie quite kwickness

@@Countryboy071 Well alot of soldiers make it work, with the compass measurements and the cord . You do the same with the cord then hold it against your compass cm and you gtg! 💪

@@Wolf-viking yes remember doing this. You're right probably better keeping dogs on. I used to use one of the older lensatic compass, with no cord (yes I'm an oldie 😆). Used to have one of the older type map measures, with the wheel on. Absolutely useless. Allways interesting to see new ideas though. Love this channel.

Rangers Lead the Way!

One of the most important vids you've done IMHO.

Navigation is definitely a weak point for me, but you break down the information so well. Thanks Andrew!!!

Love that chain idea, I was still using tick marks lol.

I've used string to measure but never thought of the dog tag chain...I kind of feel stupid not thinking of that myself! My poor compass from the 80's finally lost its glow. In pitch black night maybe it will still show some but nothing like it used to. Sucks gettin' old!

Personally, I prefer a string. The chain has a tendency to roll around as you try to align it.

Ahhhhh. The memories.... Rangers lead the way for the rest of the army AFTER they got directions from the Marines with longer hair..... Semper Fi Merica.....

Math has never been a friend of mine. There are 2 people I have understood teaching compass use, you are one of them. Thanks.

Orienting your map using the declination diagram is a new one on me. I love this stuff.

That beaded chain trick is slick. All of these points are outstanding and worth learning. 👏👏👍

Navigation is the #1 skill needed after walking IMO, keep 'em coming!

As always - simple, but great!

I’ve been teaching land-navigation to my kids, nephew’s and niece’s, and anyone else that wanted to learn, since 1980. I always carry string in my map case , but the beaded chain might be a better option. With the pace beads, it is a great way to know how far you’ve traveled, and how far you have to go. The fabric marker on the cloth is an excellent idea that I have never seen before. Just proves that no matter how good you are at something, you can always learn something new.

Always the best and top of the line Instructor leading the way well.

This is pure gold!

Thanks Andrew

I love how you you said "Count with me!" It was so cute! I also actually have added a few items presented JUST IN case 😎 😱

Great tips. In the army we used the compass string for the same purpose, which is marked red/white 5mm interval. But this system is more practical, quick and straight.

Some of these I learned during Infantry training in the early 80s but the dog tag chain for distance on a map and a couple of others are new to me. Thanks for the lessons!

Good morning

Brilliant, simply explained nav. techniques

We need man vs wild show again but this time we want u in the show 🙏 🇮🇳🙏🕉️🙏🇮🇳

Lead the way!! 🇺🇲🦅

I came up on your page quite by accident this morning. It’s been many years sense I taught land nav. But dang how much I have forgotten. So you have a new student.

Thanks Again Andrew. You refreshed my education of about 45 years ago, plus you taught me some powerful new tools. Much appreciated.

Great instructions, no fluff, straight to the point.

Best survival channel on the Tube... or anywhere else for the simple cost of some data allowance and your time. Can't be beat. - LEGENDARY INDIVIDUAL!💜 Cheers.

Using electronic means to navigate is great but knowing and practicing good old map and compass or protractor, string, and sun dial are very good skills to keep up.

Thanks for your wisdom.

Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge with us. And thank you for taking the time and work that you put in for these videos. Thank you for your knowledge and wisdom.

Man, you have some fantastic tips.

Outstanding sir! Wish I could took some classes under you while I was still in service definitely a outstanding af refresher course! Hooah!!!

Been bingeing on your vids since finding this channel. IMO while there’s a lot of similar content out, yours is the absolute best. I have learned more tips and hacks. You teach in such an easy straightforward manner and you’ve obviously got the stars stripes and rep to back it all. Thank you, Sir, for your continued service and sharing your knowledge and expertise with us.

I have a little wheeled device in my nav pack. It measures by following the line no matter how squiggly.

I was a 13E for 12 years of my 24 years of military service. I would always do my marks in pencil then go over them with the color standard IAW FM 6-40. This was so I could still see the markings under red or blue light. Your highlighter trick is a new one on me. HOOAH!

Once again, you've delivered a handful of incredibly useful tips. Thank you and enjoy the day!

I ETS in 1992. 1984-1992 11-B. Great stuff, I needed this, been a long time. 2 thumbs up

good to see a proper 1:50000 metric \ nato map.

Love your straigh information content. Always learning new skills here. Great work Andrew 👍🏻

Excellent lesson well explained, thanks for sharing.

Love this guy I use maps and compass always when I'm in the bush . Always learning more from this channel. Subscriber for life....

The dog tag trick is brilliant. Wish I had known it when I was at selection. thanks for sharing

Now that’s something useful

Cool stuff, I learned the florescent yellow trick a long time ago. I kept a blue light finger tip led so I could track my my route.

Very educational , just the kinda stuff I love to learn , thank you very much sir . I think your a very capable person who gives valuable instruction .

That would work great using the chain with the PAUL method as well. Thanks.

Awesome! I did not realize how much land nav/compass stuff I had forgotten. I'd better brush up as I live remotely. I don't need it close to home, but if I have to bugger off or go deep bush... Thanks from retired Veteran here in Alberta, Canada.

Very good info. Especially like the dog tag chain method and the highlighter and blue light trick

Super useful info as always. Learned a lot from you already. Please keep em coming !

Thank you brother for your tips and advices!👍🤝always appreciated💛🙏🏻

I'm learning something new everyday. Been over 45 years since I did land navigation for serious. It's evident I have forgotten much. Semper Fi.

Excellent tips. The dog tag chain works well, but you can also use string, jute twine, paracord, bank line, etc. I was taught to use string in (EDIT: Boy) Scouts, but soon learned you can substitute any flexible cordage. Keep up the good work.

Way cool 😎! Slick tips and easy to understand. Thank you!

Excellent as usual, thanks for sharing. The map time orientation method is a new one for me but we need to remember to use local time not daylight saving etc.

This is solid information, well presented. I'm subbing and going to watch more now. Thanks for posting this info.

More great information! Thanks for sharing my friend 🤠

Thank you for the very informative video!

Great stuff. I am going to mark up a circular plastic top with the hours to transfer to the map. Thank you.

Awesome video!! Learned some new tools for the toolbox!!!

Another awesome video! Thanks, Andrew!!

Awesome video.Great information. Thank you.

I had a DS in boot back in 04 who was a Cav scout. He thought us how to use an analog watch to find north. It worked a lot like your solar compass you demonstrated.

Excellent information, thanks.

Good job solider.👍🪖

so cool! i taught myself how to nav a map using a book and surplus military compass but this is next level for me, thanks!!

Great content man! I've been out a long time these land nav lessons are great. Noone ever showed us the dog tag trick, thanks brother!

The solar compass ? That was so cool .

Drew, this was one of your best videos ever. I learned a few things on it, and I consider myself fairly competent with map and compass. Excellent video.

I've done land nav, search and rescue, and now I make maps. That said, some of these tricks were new to me. Much appreciated! I will use these and pass them along. Subbed.

Excellent… You brought a tear to my eye with fond memories… cheers for that… Learned the basics in recruit training , learned more in corp training honed it in my unit… OLD SCHOOL. Is still the best … Learn good map navex coz when your battery is dead or satellites are pilfered for other tasks etc your bloody GPS is useless weight… A map A compass Sun and Stars and the understanding of how to use them , make life so much easier… Will mention you in dispatches for a well earned thirst… Cheers big ears for sharing great knowledge…

Thank you so much for this information! Your method of measuring with the paper is exactly what I did in a maths class a long time ago, my teacher blew her trumpet at me saying it’s impossible to measure like that even though I had the same final measurement as her. It just made sense to do it that way and thank you for confirming it. 😂 I love the tip on using the chain 👍

Excellent approach Andrew! Having some knowledge of Dead Reckoning will also ease any fears of deviating off course.Really great knowledge to have with you,Many Thanks for your Excellent instruction,Cheers!

Another video of great content and presentation. Thanks for the information.

Outstanding!

I definitely appreciate you sharing this Intel.. This is information that everyone needs to know.. 👍 And the way you explained everything was easy to understand.. 🦅🇺🇲🦅

Andrew, sir, thank you for sharing your natural abilities to teach. I follow alot of bushcraft and survivalist. I enjoy your videos. As your yt business is concerned. I feel navigating is a skill that most civilian campers neglect. So I personally feel that this would get you views. Also sanitation/medical. Just my opinion, I'm no expert. I love most of the tips,tricks, and hacks you have shown. Keep up the great work. 🔥

Major Andrew thank you for the great knowledge share sir.🇺🇸👍

Very good information and thanks for sharing this with us. One of the best YT channel ...

Hi Andrew, greeting from Australia 🇦🇺 thank you for your time to make these videos

Outstanding video! I wish they would have taught us stuff like this when I was still in, without having to go to SERE school! This type of stuff would have kept me out of so much trouble and would have kept me engaged when I was that stupid 18 year old!

Thank you for the information.

Outstanding
