How to use your map and compass part 3 - what to do when you get lost.

All 3 vids gave me an idea of using a compass and map - thanks very much

Your mini series has helped me exponentially learn how to use a map and compass for my Duke of Edinburgh expedition; thank you

Absolutely excellent series on map & compass! Clear, concise & easy to follow! Excellent point about aiming off. Thank you!

I've seen several navigation videos on You Tube; attended a residential course on mountain navigation and practiced skills on the hillls. John,; this has to be the most instructive presentation I've seen. Your presentation is clear, calm and well thought out. Your 3 part series has been a great refresher course for me. Really enjoyed it and will continue to revisit it. Thanks, Phil

‘Triangle of uncertainty’ is an expression I’ve never heard of before, but it describes where I am in my life quite accurately 😂🤣! It was clever of you to lay on windy weather conditions to add drama Jon 😳😊. Camping Astronomers are obviously made of tough stuff 🤩✌️

Watched your little series John, i must say your an excellent tutor. thank you.

I have really enjoyed your navigation videos,I’m a beginner backpacker/hiker and an currently self learning navigation with the ultimate navigation manual by Lyle Brotherton,your ability to explain in a really simple calm way is fantastic,could you please make more navigation videos I love them and I’m sure many other people feel the same,cheers steve

A very clear and useful little series this. Thank you John.

Great new video!! All the best in your next adventures, we stay tuned :)

Thanks for this video series, well done, helpful and enjoyable.

Great series clear easy to understand and useful thanks

Great set of videos - always a good refresh - thanks for posting

Excellent series, explanations and demonstrations that are easy to follow,subscribed👍

Your videos are nice, thankyou they are helpful while trying to understand the topic :)

amazing videos! going on a high competition course next week in canberra, using triangulation, night nav, nav without map or compass etc - this is an amazing refresher course that teaches all the niches (compass north facing up, staying away from metal etc) that other videos do not. thanks for your detail!

super series mate, learnt a lot so thank you mate.

A good instructional movie.We all will be lost at some point when trekking, but it is when we are lost that we need to trust the instruments. In my experience cognitive bias will make you think you are in a specific place and you will look for confirmation for your belief - and that will often make you even more lost. So knowing how to use the compass and map will help you to get objective data about where you are; something that is important! And I talk from experience being gloriously lost in forests and mountains because I thought I could do without map and compass - now I know better!

Really good explanation 🙌🏼 thank you

Ha! Sooner or later you’ll get lost! Thanks John for coaching!

Came across this channel quite by accident, but quickly realised I recognised you because you helped me upsize my boots from 9 to 10 size the other day and gave some great advise on hiking socks and base layers for my partner. I also remembered you said you used a Silva compass. Anyway, nice video Steve, very clearly explained and annotated. Now armed with a Brunton compass and some maps, heading up to the Lake District next week and will try and check out Helm Crag and Loughrigg Fell like you suggested, if we get the time. I’ll let you know how I get along with those new boots! I’ll go and check out your other videos, especially the astronomy. That was a BIG hobby of mine many years ago. Sadly my scopes have been idle in their cases for the last 10 years or so. I really should dust them off and get back at it. Big thumbs up for the video and looking forward to watching the others. Subscription added. All the best. Mike and Hayley. 🔭
