Thx. for the video – would have been nice if you could include some diagrams too.
Yesβ¦ would love to see an expanded lesson for 6 point check list. π
I would say would say leaving a note is in your vehicle is n't bad if nothing of value is left in vehicle, leaving a radio or walkie talkie showing is asking for trouble in most places.
How ridiculous that you have to post that disclaimer on your vids.
Iβve always been a big fan of the back azimuth. Another thing is to pick a spot in the distance and walk to it then look at the spot your were at.
This one of your best videos.
You need to come up with a noumonic to remember these ten points , such as KISS formate, etc
Great video! I would benefit from the 6 steps video.
What is the next step for your fuel tank?
Good points J.J.
I would suggest that anyone heading out for a hike actually know basic land navigation/how to use a map and compass, basic survival/firemaking, etc.
And like you mentioned, have a communication plan!
This weekend I had a conversation with someone who just got out of the Army, he told me that they were not taught how to use a compass – just electronic navigation with GPS!
Oh how times have changed…
Once we were camping up on the mogollon rim in Arizona and the 10-year-old boy had went for a ride on his horse well marked trails very wide trails and it had been raining off and on all day. He was getting closer to dark and he had not been home yet so I jumped on my horse bareback we went looping up the trail to find him. I found him right at dark on his way back he had gotten delayed by a mama bear that was near the trail and he couldn't continue down the trail which was smart of him not to try to push it. So we're headed back at a Lope cuz the trail was nice and we get to some downhill switchbacks and we slow down and it's pitch black at this point there's no moon out because of all the clouds and I don't have a light. So I was relying on my horses eyesight to follow the trail down the hill, well the horse screwed up LOL and follow a little rabbit trail off of one of the switchbacks instead of following the switch back around instead of staying on the main trail. So we're rocking along and then all the sudden I realized we're not in a nice big wide trail. So we turned around and backtracked a little bit and we found a big log and I stopped us right then. And built a campfire it had been raining so it was hard to start but I had a good lighter and I used some older receipts and stuff that was in my wallet for tinder and there we sat. About an hour and a half later we hear people yelling and hollering way up the hill. They had come looking for us so we hollered back really loudly and they found us. But even though we had a big fire going they couldn't see that fire from 100 ft away it was that thick. The moral of the story is if you're lost don't continue trucking around in the dark… stop and make camp and wait for daylight. Don't make a lost situation work worse. It was very wild country up at the mogollon rim it would be very easy to get so lost they can't find you
top information as always. thank you
Well done JJ !!!….THX..
Shared … good video, things are going to get very hot real soon, world-wide!
Very good tops! I always keep a local map and compass with me and many of these other tips .The only thing I would add is to take your dog if you have one….my shepherd has always been on the trail when I go….it always gave me some added protection,my gun can't warn me when danger is approaching but she always hasππβ£οΈ
Personal locator. I've been watching David Paulides Missing 411. And he suggests on every video.
