I always find myself saluting you back Cpl.Kelly. Although I have never served. So far you have my respect and hope to learn a lot from you. Be safe and be ready.
I was thinking of making this video. Learned all this in the Navy Seabees. You did a great job. Other videos don't explain the averaging for different types of terrain and that is exactly why I wanted to make a video. Also, some people may want to have nine beads on each section, for expanded range count. In this case, I recommend two different bead colors to differentiate the hundreds from the thousands. I put together a complete curriculum for a two day land navigation class and advertised it locally. Only four people signed up. In class day, only two showed up. Before lunch time, one wanted to quit and go home. Myself and the other student convinced him to not give up. He was just struggling with all the map and compass stuff. We slowed down and helped him through it. I provided some navigation tools for the students to keep and I gave them tons of resources for follow up learning and practice. I told them, you MUST practice, rehearse, and re-study ALL of these concepts. It does you no good to be in the field and struggling to remember what you were taught in class. I provided them with enough beginner navigation tools and packable cheats to carry with them in the field, and gave them an online source for purchasing about any navigation aid they would ever need. As part of their class fee, I offered that any student can sit through the training again for free when space is available, but they have to bring their original books and supplies that they received at their first class. Unfortunately, I moved a short time later and haven't advertised or taught the class again.
I'm here because I'm in JROTC and doing orienteering, and I'm a freshman so this is my first time doing this kind of thing our first competition is this weekend!
Well damn... Guess im gonna have to get the gear out and look like a loon at the local park again. Thanks for the info as always. This is priceless instruction and you are a generous insructor.
Even though this is an older video, I accept the challenge of learning my pacing. You may never see the comments on an older video but thank you for the information. You have inspired me to learn more and refueled the desire to return to the great outdoors more often.
I seen this video when it came out years ago. I finally got the equipment and the time to go out. I knew exactly who to return to, to come back and get a refresher course. His videos are gold.
CPL. Kelly, Thanks for the instruction! with some many people out there giving miss information your videos are great. I have not practiced anything since the mid 80`s and forgot so much. Watching your videos as brought back the excitement of being back in the outdoors with confidence. Semper Fi
Man, I did my pace count briefly at Pendleton, on the way to somewhere else. I never liked my numbers. Your instruction was more detailed than what I got.
2016. Wow this is outstanding(I talk like this too). I wanted a refresh on land navigation. I really appreciate this and I know I'll be back in the future going through these videos again
I learned a very important lesson from this video. Always use the correct tool for the job. I tried using a GPS watch and was getting multiple different readings. I then tried using a survey tool to measure 328 feet to equal 100 m. At the end of the day, I decided to order some tape and make life much easier on myself.
That’s really awesome..I’ve always wanted to learn this. Thanks for the lesson on setting an average pace count..and using ranger beads..the one with the skulls is killer by the way..learned something new today and that is Outstanding!
Completely Outstanding,,,,Thank You Shawn,,,, A while ago you mentioned stopping the “shorts”,,, Now I get several of these 10min or less training videos each day,,, These have been Excellent AF,,,!!! Thanks Shawn,,, Blessings to You, Your Endeavor’s and Your Fiancée,,,,,,,,,, Joshua
Another great video. I have a set of beads and have used them incorrectly! Im fixing that today! I also enjoy and learned tons of great info from the compass and knots videos. I carry # 2 pencils that I can snap in half for compactness and they can be sharpened by knife or even rubbing on a rock.
Best video I have seen on pace count beads. Keep up the good work. Thanks for your service to our country and your continued help to those of us who want to learn.
your videos are so informative all meat no-frills straight to the point I traveled the country in the '80s for 8 years and I thought I knew all about survival and I've learned so much more from you about new tech survival gear keep up the great work oooh rah thank you for your service
I'm a new subscriber and appreciating the time and effort you put into your videos to teach others. You give good instructions that are easy to follow and understand. Thanks for the lessons.
Thank you for this series. Supplements my K9 SAR training for other tips. Challenging in thick brush and running after my dog once she indicates she found a subject to return. Flagging tape not a great solution, so 24”x24” great idea. Former, Hospital Corpsman.
I liked your video! I watched all the way through. I learned about pace counts as a junior in college at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville. I leaned it similar to your method in a surveying class in 1975. I especially liked your explanation of pacing beads. Thanks for a great video!
Love your channel corporal !! This stuff is such great knowledge to have out there and it’s a blast learning this ones been out long time just found it great video
Make sure your beads are snug to the cord, meaning they don’t slip down as you traverse the route of travel. Use the appropriate size cord to the inside diameter of the beads to ensure they’re snug and not slipping down as you hike. Otherwise, you’ll lose your count. Great training vid!!!
Another outstanding tutorial, Sir! Us tender-feet cannot thank you enough! BTW, I have Dave's book, too...so this is an excellent visual to go along with the written instruction...Many thanks!
I told you I love your videos but I was ARMY we have to talk shit to eachother. I respect what you have posted, believe me. I'm happy for all your success , I truly am. And if I was out of line I apologize. I was E-5
I just finished this exercise. Doing my calculations as i post this. I did mine as follows 3 flat without day pack 3 flat with day pack 3 up without day pack 3 up with day pack 3 down without day pack 3 down with day pack 👀👌. Now I just need to apply this out on the field and get lost and find my way back.
I like a pack of Ticonderoga no.2 pencils. In a waterproof case, they are are easy to sharpen and multipurpose. Emergency tinder ir kindling in an extreme emergency.
thank you for the videos enjoy them all and i will say its good hearing a man giving the credit to another Dave is well deserving as are you !!! Semper Fi
Hey big guy, I know this is 5 years old...however, you explained those really well... Also, this was just recommended to me... I just wanted to give you a heads up Stay safe out there
I understand the pace count for the flat because you measured it. How did you determine 100 meters when you went down hill then back uphill? I understood the average of all 3 when you got done. Bruce from the City of Orange in Orange county Calif.
Dam right they lied. Getting older makes it harder. Well I had no idea how this was done. Now ill will try this with my gear. Wish i new half as much as u. Thank u for sharing your knowledge. I am very appreciative.
I do a similar method, but instead of counting each time my right foot touches, I count each step of both feet and use this to determine my pace count for the distance. I find it is easier to keep up with my count using this method while doing other things while walking. I can still use the beads in the same way by adjusting the count for my method. I can also get a little more accurate count this way. It still works the same jsut more counting for each 100 meters (or yards).
Kiwi good morning to you Marine. Another outstanding lesson! Curious. Ever used a clacker to track paces? Our lead or cover scouts usually secure them to the hand grip of their M16 or SLR. They would click or clack over every pace as they patrolled.

Really surprised why you don't have more followers. This stuff is important to learn and priceless.
I share it, everywhere!

Most folks favor entertainment over knowledge. Few of us consider learning entertaining.
Yeah but three quarters of a million is nothing to sneeze at
Outstanding tutorial. Almost felt like I was back in Recon School...

Boy I would love to attend a class like this. I absolutely love this topic! What state do you live in? I would like to find someone to do this with.

You kill it with the k.I.s.s. Method of teaching, I am in the process of watching all of your videos, old and new, keep on teaching corporal.
Your Instructor skills are OUTSTANDING! BZ Troop!

I've watched him I don't know how many times but I still love these old videos
this has been the best explanation I have found. My son has Aspergers and this was easy enough for him. Thank you.
Thank you Sir. I appreciate these videos. It’s good to learn these things not only to use if we need these skills, but to teach our children.
Ecellent explanation, you made that very easy to understand and implement. Thank you sir!
I knew basic compass reading but nothing about the pace counting. Outstanding
I learned a very important lesson from this video. Always use the correct tool for the job. I tried using a GPS watch and was getting multiple different readings. I then tried using a survey tool to measure 328 feet to equal 100 m. At the end of the day, I decided to order some tape and make life much easier on myself.
Nicely done sir. Finally someone who can explain something to the novice. Nice and simple. Thank you.👍👍🚶♂️
You're just awesome. I never considered the difference in terrain to establish an average.
That’s really awesome..I’ve always wanted to learn this. Thanks for the lesson on setting an average pace count..and using ranger beads..the one with the skulls is killer by the way..learned something new today and that is Outstanding!
Thank you so much I now understand what the ranger beads are used for, how they are used and how to figure my pace count.
Excellent! Always wondered how to get an accurate pace count! Thank you!

Thank you. This is the clearest description I have seen. cheers!
Great tutorial! I liked how you explained pacing and the use of pacing beads.
I've said it before CPL Kelly...,, U should be a "General"...your videos are great...
I don't know English but I understand everything in your videos by the didactic method as you explain thank you very much
My wife brought my attention to an interesting alternative to these ranger beads: a mechanical click counter. Costs just 7$
Another outstanding video. Truly appreciated.
Another great video,you always do a great job of teaching !!!
Excellent video (as usual). I did this about a year ago and made my own set of ranger beads. Fun project Thanks for the post!

I made my pace beads with spent 9mm shells. A little long but does the job. Best part, made in the USA.
This ess really useriøse to me. And more importantly very well explained. Love the repititions.
Another Priceless video here. I will use this video as a reminder .. Like many of your vids.. Thanks for giving once again..greatly appreciated...
Thanks for making these, I plan on buying some beads after this. Never liked the concept of using a pedometer or a fitbit.
Another outstanding tutorial. Homework assignment accepted.
That sure helps me out as im trying to learn this thank you for your video
All your videos are FANTASTIC AND I LOVE WATCHING AND PRACTICING YOU TECHNICS. THANK YOU VERY MUCH
Priceless information.
Congratulations on a great channel. Excellent and pragmatic content for any level of experience.

3 flat with day pack
3 up without day pack

Hey big guy, I know this is 5 years old...however, you explained those really well...
Also, this was just recommended to me... I just wanted to give you a heads up
Stay safe out there
Only a soldier knows how to pace count. Cheers Digger.!
Outstanding work 👍👍
Why do you only have like 21k subs??? you make awesome videos. keep up the good work.

The skull beads are awesome!
Excellent. Well done!
Wonderful information. Thank you :)
Great lesson
I understand the pace count for the flat because you measured it. How did you determine 100 meters when you went down hill then back uphill? I understood the average of all 3 when you got done. Bruce from the City of Orange in Orange county Calif.
Thanks Cpl, well explained.
Corporal is a straight g
Dam right they lied. Getting older makes it harder. Well I had no idea how this was done. Now ill will try this with my gear. Wish i new half as much as u. Thank u for sharing your knowledge. I am very appreciative.
Would love to see how you set up your webgear, what you carry.
Extremely helpful.
Very informative thanks 🙏🏼
I do a similar method, but instead of counting each time my right foot touches, I count each step of both feet and use this to determine my pace count for the distance. I find it is easier to keep up with my count using this method while doing other things while walking. I can still use the beads in the same way by adjusting the count for my method. I can also get a little more accurate count this way. It still works the same jsut more counting for each 100 meters (or yards).
Hard to find hills where I live, but I'll test it when on holiday next time.
Great videos and lessons. As always
The pace count video takes me back 30 years to Ft Benning
Million thanks, bro!
Thank you Corporal Always helpfull A.F. as usual 🇺🇸
