In this video we'll walk through how to use a compass without a map. Maybe you're trying to create your own map of a bug out location or personal property. Maybe you're hiking through back-country and don't have a detailed map. You could be day hiking and want to explore the area you're in. Whatever the scenario - you have a compass, no map -- and need to know how to use it to roam around and return back to your starting position! Check out my Amazon Storefront for great bushcraft, survival, and tactical virtue lists and items, it costs you nothing yet supports the channel:  https://www.amazon.com/shop/stokermatic To further support the channel, check out https://www.patreon.com/stokermatic In this video, I'll demonstrate how to use a Cammenga Lensatic Compass - it's the compass used by the US Military, and the one I've trusted for decades. It all begins with the idea of exploring a hunting, bug out, cabin, off grid, or backwoods location. There's an area that you need to scout out, and don't have a map. I'll take you to multiple spots at different distances and then how to work your way back to your starting point! First Disclaimer - Be Careful when exploring! This is one of the primary ways to get lost. There are countless of potential dangers if you journey off trail. Snakes. Bears. Cougars. And that's the beginning of dangerous animals. But you also have the hazard of getting lost or lower extremity injuries. So - PLEASE - do not journey off trail if you do not know what your doing. * Disclaimer notice: links to Amazon products are affiliate links.
