Could you do a video on forest navigation? Where I am in the southeastern U.S. there's no open ground like out west or where you are in the U.K. and I'm very interested to know know more about finding my way in the woods. Also, the irrelevant waffle outtakes are fantastic, please keep doing them.

I think you're one of the best at explaining map reading, orientation and all related material. The outtakes are a bonus. So keep on doing them please.

The most valuable class I ever had in my educational career (my degree is in Mathematics with a minor in Computer Science) was an Art Appreciation class I attended the Tate Gallery in London when I was on a "Study Abroad" semester in 1979 (yes, I'm old). What I consider so valuable about this class was that it taught me that learning more about something is very often a huge factor in how much you can appreciate that thing, be it a painting by Picasso, a small town you pass through on a family vacation, or some round rocks you come across while hiking. Now that I know a bit more about millstones and burrstones I appreciate this channel even more. Thank you so much for all the waffles!!!

I enjoy all your videos and found the mill stone quarry part interesting. My great great grandfather ended up buying 160 acres in the foothills of the Sierras in gold country. My great uncles each inherited 40 acres. They had a bunkhouse and a kitchen where we spent lots of time growing up. One of my uncles was a pharmacist with a minor in archeology. He took me all over this land to see all kinds of things from the gold rush era. One interesting thing was a giant millstone that lay horizontal with the top stone that rolled on it to grind grain. It was operated by a Mexican miller from before the gold rush when California was part of Mexico. It was operated by a Mexican through the gold rush until eventually it was just abandoned where it stood. It was operated by a donkey walking round and round.

Envious of the temps there. It it warm here in Southern Indiana, USA I use the same system locating property lines. Sighting a tree, walking to that tree, and relighting on the next on the correct bearing. Great explanation of offsets Thanks!

It’s great, the way you talk, interestingly to some, about all sorts of irrelevant stuff, then, when I’ve watched it you tell me to fast forward that bit. Too late, I’ve had to watch already. 😂😂😂😂

Very much enjoy watching your videos! Having a map you can use UTM coordinate if you’re not sure how far your detour around may be, like around a lake. Just take a bearing again once around to get to marked UTM location.

Came for one video…stayed for them all. Love your style. If I was in England I would sign up for your course like a shot. I enjoy the irrelevant waffle, keep it in. Maybe put it at the end because some people just come to the video for the information.

I was on a 24hr Navigation exercise centurys ago😊when i used the same boxing at night to get round a wood it was pitch black so the only method i could think off, that was in the military the way we were taught. So you mentioned another Military method?

Thank you for the video. I have a question...if my compass is pre-set with the magnetic declination of 12 degrees west for map use and I set the compass for a due east bearing of 90 degrees to my destination, will my travel route be off 12 degrees if I follow the compass with the magnetic needle inside the orienting arrow? Thanks in advance.
@TheMapReadingCompany

Hi Glenn By “pre-set” I assume you’re talking about using the semi-permanent adjustment? If you live in an area with (as in your question) 12 degree west declination and you have set the semi permanent adjustment to this - basically you adjusted the direction the orienting arrow points by adding 12 degrees to compensate for the local declination - it will work fine for as long as you are using the compass needle (directly above the arrow) to navigate and not putting the compass bearing on to your map. If using your, adjusted, compass to take a bearing from a map don’t forget that to take your bearing, from the map, you will need to point the orienting lines up the map not the arrow.
