- You have an amazing set of map tools built into your phone, but the aftermath of Hurricane Helene has shown that you can't always rely on it. You need to learn how to read paper maps, and how to make the most of them.
My brother called our grandmother to pick us up.
He told her to write down what streets and turns to take.
She made it to us no problem.
I learned maps from playing dayz along with a mobile app to use topographic maps to navigate with in game compass
I see you and James Reeves have similar taste in scenery. Glad to see you enjoying the Gulf Coast. Thank you for all that you do
According to my grandparents, I was a backseat driver as a toddler, telling them where to turn and where to go in order to get back to my parents house lol wasn’t wrong, either! There’s something to spatial awareness and landmark navigation that’s simply primitive.
Another good skill to teach yourself and your kids, cardinal directions. Whenever you drive somewhere know roughly if you're going North, South, East, or West.
The area of Florida you are in is beautiful. North Florida is the best.
There's a lot of info on basic county road maps that people are unaware of. Address ranges along the perimeter, for example.
I used to live in Europe in the early 90s, and as an American, it was hard to get around in those days before GPS. I would borrow maps and write down the names of the cities I wanted to travel through, because the route numbers and ways were sometimes hard to register. Several years later, we started getting things like Mapquest, but even that would goof it up. Road trips now, I always check out some maps beforehand so I don't rely on Google or Apple to get me there. They do send you the wrong way sometimes.
....The very fact that this is being made in 2024 hurts my heart - just like the sad TikTok's with Zoomers honestly asking how people were able to find their way around without GPS....I recognize that a certain percentage of people will never be able to understand a map, but there are WAY too many people who cannot comprehend basic things.
I am going to using maps. My grandpa was one a cartographer. It was good that I did not know him but the art is very important to know more than using our own toys. Aka devices
We need to go back to using less technology and letting our old creation die down. Meaning the infinite scroll. The algorithm.
Knowing everyone's number knowing how to type going back to writing
A lot of what I just said can be achieved. You should get off and not get carried away or scroll on your phone. Get out and meet people and make a club.
Make a video about creating a dope card for long range shooting please
Some people don’t have maps
Those people are fools
We talk about where to get maps in this very video.
For those that don’t get the reference, here’s the full quote “I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps, and, uh, I believe that our education like such as in South Africa and, uh, the Iraq everywhere like, such as, and I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., er, should help South Africa and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children”

small FPS drones can be a lifesaver (the hand sized ones). Charged off a battery pack, you can fly up to quick gauge shape of the water near, get view above a canopy, etc...GREATLY AIDING your land nav
Holy shiit batman, I might just learn something.
Getting printed maps, buying, is getting harder to find
Caltopo is pretty handy for that, and... We may be working on something else.
