[QUOTE="R. Johnson, post: 2214117, member: 10606"] I enjoy land navigation quite a bit, I've done courses in Alabama, S Carolina, Louisiana, and Oklahoma. The terrain makes a lot of difference for me. I find lower Alabama very difficult, the foliage is very dense and terrain association is difficult. Everything looks the same and I have my pace count thrown off very easily by vegetation. Louisiana and at home, on the other hand, I find to be easier because I find it easier to lean on terrain association in those environments rather than just my pace count. I think using a map and compass is a great skill to have. Electronics fail, batteries die, the Chinese shoot down your satellites, but so long as you take care of that compass it will take care of you. [/QUOTE]
