Hmmmm ... OK ... I think I need a book to read ... or some links ... Hook me up guys! Amazon Prime is my friend and GC is getting me a Kindle Fire for Christmas. I have until March and HAM Radio class will be over next week ... THANK GAWD!!!



LOL, all the time but I seriously doubt it was "magnetic declination" they were talking about! LOL

And for the record, MY COMPASS will NOT get thrown in a bag and lost. This is something I've actually always wanted to learn -- UNLIKE
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFOOOOOOOOOOOOOKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG HAM RADIO ...



Uhhhhh ... Can you "show" me?? LOL

Seriously, I've got NOTHING to bring to the table here but my sunshiny personality (and maybe a flask or two of really, really good scotch) but I'm gonna be there with bells on ... I am sooo looking forward to getting out and hanging out with somebody besides my darlin' GC ... I mean he's a handsome, charming dude and all but I'm ready to get out of the house!! Some of you guys I've been penpals with here for a long time. It'd be great to put a face with a name!

Depends. What KIND of Scotch?

Kindle Store: Map Reading and Land Navigation: US Army FM 3.25.26 and Combined SERE/Land Nav FM 3.25.26 and FM 21.26 is a good start. You may also look at the Survival Combo also.

You have no idea how excited she is about learning this. A lot more excited than she was about HAM radio. I'd tried to get her to do that a couple of times before and I think she just finally gave in to shut me up. lol THIS is something she's always wanted to learn though. Thank you guys for taking the time to talk to her and show her about it. It's been a while since she has felt decent and it's good to see her busy again.

Your Welcome GC. If my wife was as interested in something as much as BB is about this, then I'd be happy for her to find the resources to satisfy that itch.

Unless something changes between now and then, I'm in also.

 

[WTJ]

I will try to make it.

SD,

What quad is your property in? I can try to pick up some 1 to 24/25s. They will come in handy for the map part, especially if you have some terrain features to work with nearby. I will dig around in my books for some training handouts I used.

BB, do a google search for lensatic compass instructions. You should get quite a few hits that can get you started. I'll be more than happy to help show you that weekend. It's really pretty simple, but can be daunting to a newcomer. Land navigation is also a perishable skill. If you don't practice it you tend to forget it. Somewhere I have a little handout I got from the Army that explains things pretty well. If I can find it, I'll be more than happy to make a copy and send it to you if you like.

That would be nice, thank you. But if you can't find it don't sweat it. I'll PM you my address.

Macallan ... 10 year ... If you are lucky I'll snag some 18 year for my birfday ... And thanks for the titles ... I'll go check them out!

Mike, you are welcome to come. Hell, I don't know many of these yahoos, yet!

You, too Otis. Hell, you are practically a neighbor in Mca.
