    Do you remember when a time before GPS? When navigating to the next town or going into the bush all had to be done by maps. What shall we cover next?

      Normal every day commutes from home to work etc of what you would keep in your vehicle to survive a period of time if there is an unexpected blizzard or something to cause the vehicle to be immobile before help arrives. Ideally stuff that doesn't take up too much room for the vehicle.

    I was a Naval Scientist at China lake in the late 80’s we’d did GPS work. I put the first GPS unit on a naval fighter the Harrier, the F-18 got it next. MAGR miniature airborne GPS receiver.
    We built jammers to show how vulnerable GPS is. The signal is not even visible on a spectrum analyzer without bumping it up 60dbm.
    Any way we went to a tank exercise at 29 Palms Marine base to show how easy it is to take away GPS. The exercise started and in 15 minutes the tanks were all over the place including the forbidden turtle reserve next door and the exercise was over. The tank commanders were very good at navigating with their PLGRs( personnel lightweight GPS receiver) but when we took those away they couldn’t use their maps

    Thank you!! I'm going to 5.11 tomorrow to see if they have any sort of compasses. With land nav did anyone see the duel survival episode when Joe Teti was counting paces? His pace was off because he didn't factor in the hills/mountains.

    If you don’t learn land navigation and celestial navigation then you’re out of luck if you’ve got no power wherever you are
