Can we adjust for magnetic variation before we put the compass to the map? Or do we have to do it as you showed? Just asking because I had added in my notes that I need to do that first, but then I rewatched your video and you did it afterwards.
Hello Sunny, just seen your message. Measure your grid bearing first, then adjust. Think of it as converting your grid bearing (map), into a magnetic bearing (land).
Adjust for magnetic variation after taking your bearing. You are adjusting from grid to magnetic bearing. Measure grid of the grid (map) then adjust. Thanks, Jane
Nice video but it does not tell why any nunber of degrees are needed to be ADDED when going from map to compass and what to ADD or to net when grid north an magnetic north is used. She also does not state that nearly all maps are made to orientate to true north which us why adjustnents are needed and what to do if magnetic north is east of your location or what to add and or subtract depending on where your grid and magnetic north indicators read with respect to the age of the map as indicated in the key, and how to approximate magnetic to true north by using a Polaris sighting - without Google. And how to plot when compass to map calculations are needed. Complete understanding of this is necessary whenever the need for using a compass is called for.
She gives a general explanation beginning at the 1:45 mark. Then at the 2:10 mark, she advises to go look up more information on how to make the adjustments, as explaining it here would add too much time to a short and quick video. So she does acknowledge it, and does tell you to go find that information somewhere else. I think it was a great way to handle it, regarding what this particular was trying to accomplish.
Best compass bearing video I’ve seen,thank you
best ever explanation. Simple, clear and every item covered thank you
One of the better videos I’ve viewed. Good, clear instruction.
wonderfully explained I hope this works for me Thanks
This is a very good video. Well explained and straight to the information
Very good, nice and clearly shown and explained.
Excellent explanation....for me the best video on walking on a bearing. Thanks.
I remember learning this some years ago, just need a quick recap which this video fulfilled succinctly.
Really good video and clearest instructions I’ve seen.
great video thanks for sharing !
Nice and clear dear !
Best tutorial yet on this! Thanks
*Nicely explained ,Thank you* 👍👍
Excellent 👌
Well explained, great illustrations, beautifully articulated - full marks!
Brilliant clip. Very clear
Thanks for the refreshingly simple lesson 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
great but ..... say no visibility. Is the map in the correct place orientated before you start? or does it not matter ?
Good one thanks.
Well presented, thank you
Wouldn't a compass with a sighting mirror be more accurate for sighting features on the landscape?
Easy, clear instruction
Which is the North that you follow with a compass in orienteering?

Declination for where I am is +3 degrees in Oklahoma
I still have a difficult time understanding how to do this. It confuses me for some reason. I’m going to keep watching and reading until I get it.
NOAA for the United States. It will give you the declination for wherever you are.

Why the unnecessary and distracting music over voice? It's hard to hear what you're saying
