THX!! funny thing, I have been a backpacker for life (35 years now) and where I go I always have had topo maps, I never learned how to use a compass correctly. thanks for this set of video's because I REALLY need this knowledge for future possibility's!!!!!

[@retiredcarpenter8554]

[@MrSIXGUNZ]

[@mdsummerfield]

[@ZackWilliamsPANCAKE]

Thanks for the video Dave! A nice, concise explanation :)

[@greglong1432]

I love your videos. Finally a channel without all the garbage that gets straight to the point!

[@rafaellad7147]

Thanks for the time you put in to help everyone out Dave...a practical, cohesive, systematic series of videos on the use of a compass is much needed...youtube has a ton of vids on knots, shelters, gear, clothing, shoes etc but surprising there is a not really much content as far as how to use one of the most important tools of all, the compass...thanks again Dave your efforts are much appreciated.

[@SkyKing101010]

Very cool. Just yesterday my brother asked me if I knew how to use a compass properly. Unfortunately, I had to say no. Now, at least I have a clue.
Thanks Dave

[@TheBiglew415]

Great video mate. Helped me out. I've never had to use a compass before and I have just popped my cherry with one. So thanks for the lesson.

[@kentkatchem]

I learned more in the last 4 min. than I ever did growing up and going on those "camps" like in 5th and 6th grade...

[@JeffGloverArts]

[@VenomousGoat01]

Thanks I can't wait to hear more about compasses.

[@apprenticegilligan1635]

Great information. Thank you

[@rd2246]

Very well explained 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@Famo59]

Thanks,
You are correct.
You need to understand how to use a good compass to get your bearings or what's the point of having one..
Too many people get lost in out back Australia and die because they don't bring one with them or understand how to use one..!!!!

[@FishTheJim]

For when you want to be in the doghouse.

[@0neTwo3]

I don't know why, but those baseplate style compasses are so confusing to me. I prefer the military style where heading numbers rotate with the needle, so much simpler to me.

[@daveh7720]

Baseplate compasses are a little easier to use with a map for people who aren't very experienced. That's why the Boy Scouts teach orienteering with them. A few degrees of error isn't a big deal when you're walking toward a destination, because you're going to stop and take a new bearing now and then.
Military compasses are better when you need an accurate azimuth bearing without actually walking to the destination. Because you're using the compass itself to sight a target, you can then give that bearing to someone else, like artillery fire control. Boy Scouts are rarely required to call an artillery strike.

I want that merit badge.

[@daveh7720]

I wanted to build a model of an atomic bomb for my Atomic Energy merit badge, but the Scoutmaster wouldn't let me.

[@ArneTW]

There's probably alcohol in the water as I have never seen my compass freeze in the winter...

[@Mak933]

ArneTW Most likely not alcohol but more likely a water and glycol solution.
