NEVER GET LOST 10 Minutes To Better Land Navigation PAUL Basics Dave Canterbury teaches you a Fail Safe Method to Stay found, and Navigate any environment without a Map
The truest sign of a real teacher (not just an instructor) is their ability to communicate what they are trying to teach in a way that the common man can pick up and understand and utilize. Anybody can just regurgitate what they learned from someone else. I've never once seen Dave give out any cookie cutter teachings. It's because he's always constantly learning himself and incorporating what he learns into his lessons. Meanwhile, other wannabes are still stuck in the 2010's
Bravo! I really like watching BOB and INCH bag dump video's and good gear review's.... BUT, THIS! Is certainly the most important lesson in the entire Survival genre. This is the first thing people should learn! Thanks Dave!
This is fantastic, Dave. Definitely the most easily understood tuition I have come across on this topic. There's just something about your delivery that really works. Thank you.
My Marine Corps SOI instructor back in 05’ teaching land nav: “Gents there are only 2 rules to land nav. 1 don’t get lost. 2 look cool. But if ya get lost, no matter what you do, always look cool.”
I like to use a note book instead of a note pad. I get a more square shape when mapping an area. The first thing I do is orientate the left side of the pad with north on the compass, then I take my first bearing. My bush walkin' stick is a 6 foot cane pole that I can lay on the ground. The pole on the ground is exceptional for taking what's on paper and relating it to the land b4 me. It also makes a good support for a plow point shelter if there's no trees to fix a line or hang my hammock. Thanks for refreshing my memory Dave, as I haven't done this for a while. Gotta get out and reinforce the muscle memory. Universal Sovereign Citizen
Great video Dave!! I have Don Paul's book on this system and the creator of this method. In the book he uses measurements of time instead of paces. But what happens if you don't have a watch, I think this is the best overall method. As he says in his book 'know your way better than a desert coyote '.
Great info as always! Interesting idea fer a quick video, go over yer tattoos. Don't worry I ain't looking to steal (got my own) just a cool concept. Anyway been teaching us since the early days of Dual Survival and always bin a pleasure!
Interesting, as a backpacker my Black Diamond trekking poles have 8 equal spaces, on both telescoping poles, to find the right height that is comfortable for hiking. Instead of a stick, do you think a backpacker could use their trekking pole(s) to do the same thing you are teaching without a stick? Maybe other trekking poles have 10 equal measurements, but mine has 8… It would be cool to incorporate this idea into something a hiker or backpacker would already have while out on the trail. Knowledge is power!
Another great video, suggestion how I do my track, on my log I record my forward and return azimuth as I go. Iwrite down my forward facing my azimuth then rotate my pad and write down my return azimuth under my forward. On my return all I have to do is rotate my plan 180degrees and I have it already to go. I am going to switch my pace from meters to pace count, great idea. Thanks
The one thing I wasn’t quite clear on was when you arrive at your destination or last stop, how do you figure the azimuth to take you straight back to the starting point. Bee line as opposed to retracing your route? And great video,, thanks.
Thank you for you views and for your support, I hope this information is helpful
I was recently at the navigation intensive class. These videos are awesome, they’re helping me retain and reinforce the info from the class.

Absolutely great series Dave. Good information for sure. Can't emphasize enough for people to practice this and keep the practice simple.
This is fantastic, Dave.
Definitely the most easily understood tuition I have come across on this topic.

Thank you.
That the best land navigation video. I have ever seen Dave. Thank you very much. Cheers 🍻
Best navigation training I have ever seen.
I need to watch this again when I can devote my attention to it. It seems like really cool stuff.
DC, this is probably the best series you've ever done on your channel! It helps everyone, thank you for your time and dedication.....ATB
Brilliant explanation and tutorial of the Paul method.
HOLY s&$t! Ding , ding, ding!!!! What has NEVER made sense for all these years just fell into place for me! Dave, THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Dave is the King
That makes so much more sense the way you explained it. Thanks!
Excellent!
I look forward to the next one.
Thank you.
Loving this series. Thanks Dave!
Wow, this is pretty cool Dave!

My kids just watched Dual Survival for the first time last night. It was a lot of fun

The cat gave the video character probably said don't forget to use your notes

You can do the same thing on a piece of paper and measure in a figure, (Graphical solution). Or you do a vector addition, (Algebraic solution)

This could also be done using a page in your travel log if you don’t have the stakes and string, correct?
Dave, Are the orange stakes just cut down fiberglass driveway markers?
Yes
Question:
Is NESW-LURD still a profound compass?
A way of finding direction at night. Not a compass
Thanks Dave
