TLDR: 1. Align the baseline of compass along the route of travel (take note of the map scale and distance of travel needed) 2. Rotate the housing (orienteering lines) so they're parallel with the north-south gridlines on the map 3. Move the compass around until the red magnetic needle sits inside the red engraved arrow in the compass housing. The direction of travel arrow should now be pointing in the direction you wish to travel. Bonus step: walk towards a landmark in your direction of travel, and once you get there repeat steps 1-3

What he failed to mention in the video is that when you align the baseline of the compass to the route you want to take, you should ensure that the direction of travel arrow is also pointing the right way, otherwise you will end up going the exact opposite direction you want to. I guess the remaining 30 odd percent that isn't covered by this video concerns magnetic deviation, but that isn't too much of a problem over relatively short distances.

@@Mr0rris0 Setting the red arrow 'up' merely aligns the bezel of the compass with north. But if the baseplate is 180 degrees out, then you have set the compass up to travel in the opposite direction to the one you want. When lining up the baseplate with your route on the map, it is important that the direction of travel arrow on the compass does indeed point in the driection you want to go. He didn't mention that, and I have seen people making that mistake in the field.

When taking bearings from a map or from the field to the map you need to factor in the magnetic North declination. When in the field you will never remember if or not it is added or subtracted. And it is the opposite for terrain to map and map to terrain. An opposite for northern and southern hemispheres. And you need a compass tuned for north in the north and north in the southern hemisphere as we in NZ are upside down. A hack to remember if you add or subtract is to get a strip of white tape and put it across your compass in a place where it wont obstruct it and write the letters MT+ TM- or whatever is correct for your country so you can work out in the blizzard what you add or subtract so you end up at home just in time for the wicked wolf to visit,

It seems to me many/most compass videos don't really do a good job of explaining the "why" of the steps of using a compass. Instead, they focus on the "how". People (at least I) used to forget the steps, until I learned the rationale behind the steps. It helped me to just remember that a baseplate (orienteering) compass was just a combination of essentially two tools: a ruler and a protractor. You use the ruler part to draw or establish your line of travel, and then use the protractor to determine your angle of travel with respect to north. Remembering those two simple steps will allow you to use most any compass. Many thanks.

You have a couple of strategies. The most accurate and fastest is triangulation. You need to find at least 2 distant points that you can see and recognise on the Map. For example Radio Masts, high hills or mountains. It is hard to explain in in words, but you take a direction to these different points draw lines on the map and where they cross is where you are. But problem is if you can't see anything like if you are in a forest or there just is no landmarks you recognise. Then hopefully you can take a guess at your location and try to move to a place that you can place on the map. Say you are in a Forest and you are kinda lost but you know that somewhere in a westerly direction there is a river. Walk West until you hit the river and then you should have a better chance of placing your self on the map.

We were all puzzled since a sextant is a naval reading instrument. Finally my mate Jack came up with what we thought was a clever solution: 1. Climb to the very top of the building. 2. Grab your sextant and point it to the horizon making sure that it is quite level. 3 Tie the sextant to a long rope and lower it until it reaches the ground. 4. Make a mark to the top of the rope. 5. Measure the rope. Brilliant!!!! I wish my mate Jack was here for this 1,2,3 tutorial explanation. ha-ha-ha.

The lensatic compasses do have some advantages, most notably that they are very accurate when taking bearings. Also, in my opinion, they are more ergonomic to use. The problem with them is that they have to be relatively decently built, and it looks like you only have two choices: extremely cheap, shoddily built ones, or extremely expensive, well built ones. For the average hiker, a baseplate compass is more than sufficient.

It's much easier to get a walking direction from a map with it than with any other kind of compass, and that's mostly what you do as a hiker. 75% is the number quoted in the video, but I think that's closer to 95%.

Of course taking a compass bearing in the field, then applying it to a map amounts to the opposite of what you did in the video (map to compass). And then that word 'declination'...which in some areas of the planet is enough to be important (for instance where I live it's about 15 deg declination)...which should be applied to bearings so as to avoid big errors in how far off course you can get over a longish distance. For a few degrees declination I'd say don't bother with it. But for the simplest of basics, this video is good.

Jesteze me všechno naučíte 😂😂😂 Za chvíli me budete učit sextant… Hele, je rok 2024. Asi vám to uniklo… Já chápu, ze když je někdo schopnej během tří hodin někomu vyflákat baterii v novým telefonu, kterej má vydržet cca 24h, tak s vama ten kompas budu potřebovat… 😂😂😂 Tenhle telefon, když ho budu používat pouze jednou za čas k určení polohy vy mi měl vydržet cca dva dny… Tak uvidíme, jak rychle ho zvládnete vybít, až ho budu opravdu potřebovat… Jako včera… 25% ani ne ta hodinu 😂😂😂😅🎉 Elita vyšetřování!!!!

Thanks for your video on the basics. No doubt , this video has inspired many to continue on learning more. Your book recommendation is excellent and where I started over 50 years ago. All the best.

Thx HT. Your explanation videos are very helpful. The 1-2-3 video was great but didn’t mention grid bearing vs magnetic bearing?

Generally speaking the first time you learn 123 Silva method declination is left out. Once you have it is mastered adjusting for declination is easily added as required

I learned this method in Boy Scouts waaaaaaaay back when. Since then, I've become a pilot and learned about Magnetic Variation. Was this left out, per chance? I would think if the MAP is referenced to True North but where you happen to be standing might be Magnetically Declined by -13ºE, shouldn't the bezel be turned 13 degrees CCW? Excellent video and explained like a good teacher would do. Well done!

magnetic declination is not part of 123 method, but if you understand mag declination and the 123 method it is easy to incorporate it between steps 2 and 3, i have another video about it. this is a first lesson for people, master this and then add in mag declination as needed is my process. Important!! it never matters how you position your map, it never needs to be aligned with North for this 123 method. all the best!

Have a question that no one seems to have an enswer for. I'm sitting in Virginia, declination here is 8 degrees west. Planning a trip up Mount Shasta in California, declination maybe 12 east. I want to make a "plan" with travel points with azimuths/bearings in case of low viz or GPS failure. Can I do that? Do I set my declination on my compass for 8W or 12E

Thank you ...a very concise guide ... I last used a Silva compass in around 1975 and had forgot how to do it ... Brecon beacons next for me .
