Negotiate Impassable Obstacles While Conducting Land Navigation
Вставка

- Obstacles are going to present themselves to you while moving through the bush - some may be linear, others small, and some may be large open areas. Knowing how to negotiate them will increase your confidence.
In this video we'll walk through how to work around a minor obstacle such as a small section you can't walk through.

The reinforcing basics , throughout vids is 👍 👍 👍.
You're an amazing teacher.
Doing what I can!
awesome video man
Thanks brother!
What a fitting first statement. Thank you Sir for doing the work today.
Appreciate it brother!
Excellent content Top ! Love how you are always reinforcing the basics while adding a little new. Made it through Ida... Four trees in my yard went down but didn't touch the house or car - Blessed ! No electricity but we've got phones and internet. Only way out of the neighborhood was with chain saws ! After watching your videos of "urban" ops, I found myself thinking about having to travel in "post apocalyptic" conditions... If I were traveling on foot/ended up on foot... Conclusion - be prepared to be totally self sufficient, be deliberate, avail yourself of all intel (radio broadcasts), recce, have map(s) if you aren't "local", have a plan, plan for contingencies, and don't expect to move fast. Be ready for serious anti social behavior... In a few hours I'll be in line for a few boxes of MREs and ICE, which I really don't need (hoping for some good cheese spread tho). I know I shouldn't be, but I'm truly amazed at the myriad of people who were totally UNPREPARED for this (not even to fill a few empty soda bottles with WATER), have a way to make potable water - chem, or boiling w/out electricity, have a means to keep your phone charged... Looking forward to your next !
So awesome to hear you all made it thru!
And awesome lessons learned we all need to hear!
Great video
👊
THANKS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Always dig the land nav stuff Top.
🍺
Great content - especially the focus on observation of trees, vegetation, animal signs, landmarks, etc. In our age we have lost the art (wisdom?) of observation, thought, getting your wits about you etc. Thanks again for a great video!
I agree man, we move to quick and can’t see the trees through the forest
I remember during Gulf War 2 seeing a whole Armoured Brigade, come to a halt , because they lost GPS signal.
Remember you can pick up , GPS jammer on eBay for just over 100 dollars.
Learn land navigation, practice,practice,and practice.
Wow- thanks for sharing that!
THANKS 4 THE INFO👍
BUT AIN'T THIS THE SAME VIDEO FROM ANOTHER U DID?
It is - figured most people don't watch beyond 5 minutes so I thought I'd try something new this week and take a portion out and split it.
And to be honest - most subscribers don't watch; lol
@@STOKERMATIC LOL...GOTCHA. MAKES SENSE 2 EDIT DOWN 2 SOME OF MAJOR POINTS.
@@STOKERMATIC YUP...UNFORTUNATELY OUR ATTENTION SPANS GETTING WORSE THANKS 2 THIS SAME TECHNOLOGY WE'RE USING...LOL.😁
PBR? Pretty Bad Rot gut! 😜
😂🤣
👍
When you come to a place that is not passable. Could you take a reading on your compass see where your 120 is pointing. Now you look at the path that you followed and you find that it is maybe 2 or 3 degrees off of your set 120. Set your new path for 123 remembering your last pace count was 32 then let's say you walk 10 paces. You have cleared what ever was in your way. Now you know you are off of your original path by 3 degrees. So now you look at your compass line up 123 then subtracting your deviation of 3 degrees add an additional 3 degrees (total of 6 degrees total) walking again 10 paces. At ten paces stop. Re Aquire your original 120 and continue on your count with say 32 plus 6 paces to cover the obstructed area and continue your track of 120 degrees? Would that work? If there is a map of the area and the obstruction shows up there wouldn't this be an easier way to plot your path because you can see a path on the map and match it to the terrain in front of you?
I’d have to draw out what you said, but yes - some simple geometry works well. The standard way is to box around:
- 90 degrees to the right/left and move beyond edge of obstacle
- turn left/right & pick up pace count, move beyond obstacle
- turn left/right move back to your original line of travel and carry on
Only issue of doing it the easy way comes in with asymmetrical obstacles.
@@STOKERMATIC Ok that makes sense to allow yourself to follow your route in parallel to your original track. In a way i thought of that in the case of a stream or a long impassable obstruction where you have to follow it until you can cross it then backtrack to where you were on the other side. Then continue your original track.
