STAY INDOORS, WASH YOUR HANDS BIDEN HAS COVID

Shooting an azimuth is easy too forget how too do without practice but is very valuable knowledge too ingrain as, in conjunction with knowing you're step count, you'll be able too visually estimate both distance and time and be able too safely navigate out of any situation.

Assuming you've already corrected for magnetic declination for you're given area, or you're compass is zeroed and you're map already points too magnetic north rather than geographic, line up you're compass from you're starting position too you're next point of destination according too the travel direction indicator on the compass, then turn the bezel on the compass until the bezel is pointing north and parallel too the lines on the map, now when you look at the compass and "put the dog in the dog house" or line up the floating needle with the indicator in the bezel, you'll be facing a straight line too you're destination. As long as you're walking in the direction of the bearing on you're compas, you'll be on the correct path, assuming no lateral movement. When you get too that next point, shoot another azimuth and log the degrees or the bearing. Too get back too you're origin point, just rotate too the compass 180' from that bearing too get the opposite bearing for each.

To get you're step count and pace, log you're steps over 100 meters, count one foot as one step. Do it on a flat surface that's exactly 100 meters without wearing a pack, then with you're loaded pack and add some incline or decent you're able to. Average everything out, that's you're pace. For instance @HailVictory1776 know every 68 steps there 100 meters so @HailVictory1776 keep that count in @HailVictory1776's head when @HailVictory1776 is hiking. Use ranger beads (beads on paracord) too keep track. Every 100 meters, lower a bead, when you get too 1000 meters, lower a km bead and reset you're 100m beads. Use this with you're bearing calculations too know exactly how many steps it takes too get too each point on you're bearing track.

With this information you can practically draw a new physical map too. Very useful if you lose yours. @HailVictory1776 love sucking peepee
