Great video today Top! Practical examples of land navigation for the win. I a big believer in having a walking and slogging “Airborne Shuffle” pace count. I learned to trust my pace counts at the Fort Knox NCO Academy (PLDC) waaay back in the day… a good map, identifiable hand rails, and attack points were the order of the day succeeding on this land navigation course… dead reckoning was a bust due to the masses of under brush and thorn thickets… I tried that on the practice day and no go’d… switched to terrain association and pace count and ran the course, found all four points and had an hour to spare… so, having a deep war chest of knowledge and understanding what works best in what environment is a key IMO. Keep up the Fire!

My family over many generations went from EAST TO WEST, always wanted to go back in time to go down those trails. No maps, no compass. I've gone a wondering many times, I always loved it, even when I was tired, sweaty and cut up from brush. ENJOY 👍

As i looked at the map the green area didn't have a lot of marks on it indicating a lack of features. So just as you said, So my question to you is. When faced with a terrain that is pretty much featureless is this how you want to move? That being said under different conditions require different methods of navigation through? I think I am a little lost here. A straight line, unless you encounter obstacles that you have to go around, isn't the best method of getting you to where you want or need to be? Also if you are being tracked or chased I can see where a straight line would not be a good idea. I think I missed something.

Well, yes and no (straight line). Eventually we will do that, but based on terrain (elevation, vegetation, etc) you may need to move to an attack point. In this case, I could move fairly freely to the road without regard to pace count or a change in direction. Hope that helps.

Use the terrain to your advantage. With a good map, you can plan passable routes and determine your location by the terrain features.
