I did
hi Corporal Kelly well I was the one that suggested you to do a video on how to use a compass you said you stayed clear of this yes I know there are other channel's doing this but here's why I asked you to do this one people may not see the other channel's and this is a inportant matter and I like how you teach you don't make thing complicate no big o shits you keep it simple and strate forward easy to under stand please don't stear clear of thing because you and you'r channel do make a different in people life after all what is you'r channel about in the first place helping so one injoy the out doors and most of all helping people that got in a fix survive an out doors situation so no don't stsy clear of thing's you're teaching just might save some one's life out in the Forrest etc. isn't a joke when something go's from bad to worst all this is why I asked you to do this forget the other channel because you've heared time again from us you do make a different ok I SALUTE you Corporal Shawn Kelly C😎😎L
Great video, keep going!
Done . Look forward to this series continuing 👍🏼
appreciate all the knowledge you share. I'm pretty new to all of your channel. you give very clear instrustction and how to with everything you post that's hard to find. thank you
Honestly, the market may be saturated, but that's where brand loyalty comes in. I'd rather learn from you, a known, trusted source, than try to find someone else with the depth of knowledge and clear explanation.
YUT!
I agree with Kim on this
From across the pond.
Always enjoyable your videos.
#Semper fidelis.
I concur with Kimberly. Just do it. What did they say? “Just make it and we will watch it!”
FACTS
Best spent 27 minutes of my day. No bells and whistles, just clear and concise. Much thanks
same here 👍
Felt like 15min tops. It's so good.
Absolutely
he knows what he's talking about 100%
Just found this and its great for total novices like me!
I like how you explain things as if the entire audience was an 18 year old with a fresh buzzcut. "How to do it without f'ing it up." Outstanding. I subscribed.
I remember being in SOI learning the 240G and Sgt Kelly (no relation I don't think) looking out at our platoon and saying "now remember gents, feed from the left, brass to the grass, and...." (here he had the funniest look of disappointment, knowing he was answering someone's honest question) ".....pointy end downrange."
lmfao
"Gear adrift is a gift." Great line!
I wish president Trump had learned that from either General Kelley or Mattis.
I hope you do a tutorial on topographic map reading and combine compass work with that.
i second that
Yes, Yes, Yes Please continue. Your style is crystal clear while adding understanding with insight. Outstanding!
ditto !

What a beautiful thing to watch a guy who clearly knows EXACTLY what he is doing explain, succinctly and clearly, No wasted motion here - just excellent teaching all the way. Thanks for teaching and reminding this old "Coastie" the basics of land navigation as I get back into hiking/backpacking after a 30 hear pause. Well Done Sir.
I was a Sea Cadet growing up in Central Ontario Canada. I took an orienteering course as part of the cadet training program but I never had the information really click. I watched this video and all the pieces of that knowledge came back to me and clicked together in my brain with satisfying clarity. Thank you for creating it, sometimes it's not the material but the right instructor that achieves success for different people. Your class was excellent for me.
Of course water nav is different. Current and wind. And hard to pace!
Oh. Unless you are a ch warrant.......😉
As ex British army I like your style of instruction and it is the same as mine when I teach a practical subject. I’ve always kept with the explanation, demonstration, and imitation method and never fails to get the information over. Carry on good sir, carry on.
Swampy.
Old method of teaching always the best , mag to grid get rid and never let the ruppert map read . Silva or prismatic, silva all the info you require unless you want arty or drop shorts putting fire down then prismatic.
You talk about subscribers and if it's worth the trouble for making a video. I don't care if someonehad more subscribers than you; I go with who I feel I can trust. I trust your knowledge and simple instruction. Number of subscribers doesn't always mean everything.
WoW that intro brings me back to being in a class room listening to my corporal give a navigation lesson for anyone who hasn't served this is the closest thing you will get to a real lecture outside of the military
I am a Master Maine Guide and have been tromping in the woods and mountains all my life, utilizing a map and compass to 'stay found', so to speak. I have read numerous books, seen seminars and youtube videos on the subject and many of those resources make things too complex for novice navigators. You either learn it fully or you may find yourself in a lost type of situation, confused and not knowing what to do next. I have seen it firsthand. There was nothing confusing about this video. I feel that even novice navigators would find this information clear, concise, and would be able to freely roam the woods with confidence. I love the idea of keeping the map out of this video, to allow people to learn the compass skills first, build confidence, and gain experience before introducing the map. The map is what usually stumps people, mostly in dealing with declination. Keep up the good work, and I am looking forward to your map video. Cheers from Maine.
Corporal...just a bit of feedback for you: Your teaching is precise, very clear, and very informative...and in a manner that can make a very novice beginner or even a hardened pro understand and pick up on easily and quickly. Your manner of teaching also makes it VERY easy to retain and apply. Keep up the GREAT work....And yes, by all means, keep these tutorial videos coming...they are second to none. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with others, especially those who have a difficult time grasping from other attempted teachings. YOU definitely have a professional way and skill to clearing up sometimes otherwise confusing instructions. SEMPER FI !!!
cliff stewart Typical USMC instruction.
I heartily agree. I was in the Marines; and I love the very straight, simple and to the point way that you lay things out... with just enough back story and insider insights to make it really interesting, and fun to watch! I watch other channels; but often the camerawork isn't that good, or they haven't really researched what they are talking about. The fact that you were in the Marines and have them as a resource is MAJOR, in my opinion.
Agreed. In that aspect it reminds me of when I took my course to become an EMT-B. Our instructor was very clear on what we needed to know vs. what they "had" to teach by NYS law and so that we could give the answers that were looked for on the State tests. That distinction allowed us to know what we needed for the field and for practical use as opposed to what was fluff and extraneous info that someone else said we "had" to know. When I have passed on my knowledge to others (part of the now, sadly, defunct EMT Oath) I have tried to use the same 'This is what you do and this is why' format. PLEASE keep up the great work!
I agree. I just commented on his teaching style, then read your comment afterward.
Couldnt agree more!
Thank you for being straight forward and recommending others... I see so many people out there saying “I’m the best and this is the true truth”
The gift that keeps on giving. 5 years later I just found this video and it's just as informative. Clear and concise. Thanks
As someone in the British military, I always come back to this video when k need a refresher on my land nav
Please take it to the next level. This is an education for me.
Agreed
I appreciate your efforts in breaking things down so guys like me can understand what you're teaching. Teaching is not for everyone. Most of the time people skip important steps or forget a series of steps altogether. Then the student gets lost-- if you'll excuse the pun-- and finally gets frustrated. When there's no frustration it's a good learning experience, especially when you take what you learned and apply them in the field. What I'm trying to say is-- you're a good teacher.
An Excellent teacher 👍🏻
Learnt map reading as a marine in UK Royal Marines , things never really clicked. I watched this video and it’s come together and I am now 81 years old, amazing, thank you
Brother,this was Extremely Helpful. I’m 60 yrs old,have hunted all over the country and actually got lost in N.M. on an Elk Hunt.
Sure wish I’d known this back then.
Thank You.
I'm glad people like you doing videos for people that do not know land navigation.
Do more videos including your son its important to make memories with your son and share your knowledge with him.Thanks again from Loveland , Ohio former Charleston , Sc resident hunter and hiker.
Thanks so much! You are literally the first person to explain compasses and pace counts in a way I can totally understand! I appreciate your time and effort on this.
I have to agree.
Refreshing for basic pathfinder class. In this video you were at 130k but now your 708k awesome job sir.
Wow, this was a good video, been going through your older stuff.
Good info on this channel.
You're one of the only prep channel's that actually goes out and gets their hands dirty.
Thanks.
Best instructional I've ever seen on it. Looking forward to getting out with my grandson and teach him this.
There may be other channels talking about this subject, but your clear, direct, and no-nonsense approach to *any* subject is always greatly appreciated.
Watching this in 2024 and you've picked up 1,000,000 subscribers since you made this.....congratulations.
I can't believe it took me this long to find my way to this video. Land nav and orienteering has always been something that completely eluded me in the details, despite my father-in-law's efforts.
Being a former marine myself you and Dave are excellent at teaching.
Who's Dave
Takes me back to 1977 and my first year in the 4th Marines. Excellent series Corporal Kelly. Best survivalist channel on UA-cam.
Pure gold. I've seen this instruction many times but this is greatness unstruction
After watching the Four Days documentary, i'm coming back, realizing this is so incredibly important to practice
Haven't done land navigation since I was in the Corp, been out 29 yrs now brings back good memories, rock on devil dog oohray
I’d like to see you make those next vids. You break everything down in segments and explain them in simple terms. Makes it very easy to understand and retain. Thanks so much!
My first taste of land nav was in 1965 at Camp Lejeune, NC. Did NOT learn it then as they were pushing people to Nam. I was totally lost in the woods. If I had you as an instructor back then with the ol lensatic compass I'd been much further ahead. Now a retired Marine MSgt I look back on those times and glad to be alive. Keep it up, Marine. You're doing a fine job.
4 years later , you've got a well deserved 1 Million subscribers , well done 👍
After recently getting lost in the woods from my partner, I can say I totally appreciate this video and will rewatch over and over until I "get it". thank you. I was close to calling in a "hunter in distress" call. And then thankfully he found me with one hour of daylight left. These are great tools to learn, and now I am super motivated. thank you!!
Great job. The walk, than 90 turn, count, 270, to get back to your truck is a practice model. Something a father can try to get grip on, and teach his family.
The benefit of your series however is that you actually have the skill to TEACH! Too many folks out there on YT don't have a clue as to how to teach. Your videos are excellent! Thanks for this series, it has really helped me to renew and refresh my thinking from back in the day. Thanks!
Finally! Somebody broke it down and gave great comprehensive instruction on how to use land nav! Great video! Definitely hope to see the map and compass video!
Hey Corporal this is the best basic land Nav course I have ever seen, it simple, basic and very easy to understand.
I was in the US Army and you explained it better. The use of the Suunto compass was outstanding along with the Ranger beads.Thanks for posting and sharing, I am new to your sit, keep up the good work ! Former Army 11 Bravo
I'll watch you and Dave over anybody else.... on purpose!! as always thanks for showing us!!
I don’t choose your video out of the blue. You have thought me so much stuff bro from shelters, food, what to bring with me and just solid information that will stay in my head.
It's been a solid 10 years since I've done a land nav course. Killer refresher.
I'm trying out for Green Berets soon...I'm gonna crush land navigation with your tips. Keep these tips coming!
God bless our heroes & military.
Hope all goes well
Outstanding. I was in the ARNG 20 years ago. Learned this in AIT and PLDC. This is a great refresher and will help me teach my son. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
This is the most concise definition of compass navigation I have seen.
I understood this better with your instruction than I did at Ft. Benning 20 years ago. Great job!
I never knew what a compass could do ....Amazing and thank you . I am the kind of person that gets lost, I freaked recently after trying to return to my vehicle which was no where to be found.
Honestly, for me and for what I've seen from you if you say it, I believe it. I think you have show us you know what you are talking about and your skills and i think is awesome that you have upload this video. Thank you and greetings from Mexico
Thanks for the video. My Grandpa taught me how to use a compass as a kid. But that was 40 yrs ago. It's been about 10yrs +/- since I've used any of those skills. That is something I don't ever want to forget. A quote I've always liked is, "It's the things that we do that we don't have to do, that make the difference when it's do late to do anything about it. When you are lost in the woods, it's late to learn how to use a compass. Thanks again
In my opinion this is the best land nav video I have found on youtube. Thank you for this. Clear and concise.
THIS video was SUPPOSED to be my STARTING POINT! I don't have to look ANY FURTHER now! I HOPE to see this coupled with maps! Thanks for the time and effort you put into this video and make it as simple as possible.
This is one of the best explained videos on the subject I’ve seen 👍
don't compare yourself to others, you're no nonsense approach makes you a go to GUY, you don't waste time and when you're finished THE TOPIC ... As you always say; "WE ARE GOOD TO GO". Always appreciate your wealth of knowledge...THANKS
I watch you cause you deliver in a style that I like. No crazy music nor flashing lights.
Don't even know does other channels yet.
If it's not worth you time, then it is what it is.
Yes please, I would appreciate it! I like your clear way of explaining, step by step.
As an ex military guy , I was trained with the very same compass , many yrs. ago , I enjoyed the recap, you did a wonderful job, please keep going with compass and map instruction! Fine job!
7/29/2022 one of the best videos on land navigation
Made my whole family watch this!
This takes me back to my days in Ft Lewis, WA doing land nav at night. I was a young buck but managed to find all my points in a pitch black night using the same simple methods you explained with a protractor, L compass, and a flashlight. I want to pick up my skills again and your video has helped me a lot. Thank you Corporal 👍🇺🇸
This is so far the absolutely BEST land nav video I have watched!!! I have watched some others that don’t start with the basics which caused confusion. I would prefer to take the class from you before someone else. PLEASE prepare the next installment of this process! 😃
This is this simplest and best basic video I've seen on this subject. Excellent work sir!
I have been watching your videos and your videos are very precise thanks for doing this video. Army vet 1976-1978.
That 90 degree offset bit is gold!
Okay, I’ve watched several land navigation videos recently, as I haven’t used a compass and map in over 35 years, since I was in the scouts. I wanted to pick up the skills again. Your video is one of the best, if not the best, I’ve seen in the past several weeks. Coincidentally, I ordered and received the exact same compass that you use in this video. I still have my basic Suunto A1000 compass from a few decades ago, but wanted a more feature packed model.
Excellent video, and I look forward to viewing more of your content.
GREAT VIDEO! I use a Brunton Truarc 7. Using a topo map of an area where I knew the trail, I felt pretty comfortable. But really only comfortable in that situation. This is really good info! I've seen a bunch of orienteering videos where they seem obligated to overwhelm with their knowledge! Thanks for Keeping It Simple (cause I'm stupid) lol
BZ! It has been 36 years since I had my land navigation training in Aircrew Survival. That presentation was vitually identical to what I recieved back then; both in the classroom and field. What a great refresher! Nicely done!
TO THE POINT AND MOST INFORMATIVE...LIKE THE MAN'S STYLE OF DELIVERY...WATCH THE VIDEO AND YOU WILL SEE FOR YOURSELF
I found this super educational, inspirational and shared the info with my husband! Thanks so much for taking the time, and I look forward to more on this subject.
Ex 11B. I like your style better than when I had to learn it before. It's a good refresher course and easy to understand for beginners. I really enjoy watching your videos and learning new things and improvement.
This video is very informative, and straight to the point. Even visually, there's nothing to distract one from the lesson. My husband and I camp and hike all over Utah and believe me, even after years, on established trails...a lot of redrock tends to look alike and it is very easy to get lost. Especially since trails change as old trails are sometimes loosely blocked to re-establish terrain and/or idiots remove the cairns sometimes placed to make the trail. We always carry a map, but I like being able to use a compass to get our bearings and make sure we are on the trail we THINK we are on. Plus, the other videos do not provide inside sayings like "Gear adrift is a gift." Love it, thanks.
I have viewed a lot of utube on using a compass and you my friend are the best , most understandable You are a no BS kind of guy and i respect that. Thank you!
You did a great job of explaining land nav. I had to do a ton of it while I was in the corp it is a lot of fun.
This was so good. I realized I didn't remember how to use a compass and was looking for videos. That was a great explanation on the very basics and then upped it a level so I feel like I can actually put it into practice. You're a good teacher and I appreciate the video.
Me too! And I was in an orienteering team in high school, taught land nav in reserves a million years ago, lol.
One of the more unique land nav videos. I'm pretty sure no other video has applied these skills to a Box Recon.
4 yrs later I got recommended this video after watching your 1 million subscriber video. Congratulations
It's no mistake that we watch your videos... Your no nonsense, logical approach is so refreshing and that is awesome my friend... Keep up the amazing work.
I know I am late to the party, however, I enjoyed Your presentation, reminds me of our land navigation glass from the army back in the late 70s. Keep up the good work!
You have a gift for explaining things in a systematic manner, which makes your videos enjoyable. Continue with the series, please.
Feels like basic training all over again. Thanks Corporal... Refreshing
Thanks a lot. I would appreciate seeing more and detailed use of combined tools (here: compass, waypoint marking, ranger beads) in praxis. There's a lot of theoretical knowledge available in books and videos, but the practical use is underrepresented. For me the use of waypoint markings during foraging or searching for water was a really good advice. Please more.
Best greetings from Hamburg, Germany.
I love your videos. They're clear, and concise. I only wish I'd heard your explanations when at school (in UK), instead of the useless waffle we were taught. It even confused my mother when she heard what the teacher had taught us, and she was a qualified geography teacher herself!
My best memory was (many years ago) us finding a group of lost army cadets on our land very late one rainy night, and our mother holding an easy learn lesson on map reading in the dark that got them back on their correct, albeit soggy way. 😆
Sometimes it's not what you teach, it's how you teach it, and you teach it really well.
I agree that the market is oversaturated, but not everyone is such a natural teach like you
In today's mail my new Suunto MC-2 arrived everything i like about it except one thing , the mirror lid opens really hard and i hope in time that will become easier .. The new compass has the scales for Topo map use i wanted and more of them than my old Silva 515 Ranger which did not have one 1:24000 scale on the base plate .. My new Suunto is a fine tool.. I had it out on the trail tonight before darkness set in .. Thanks for all the excellent compass and map tips..
Corporal, you have a way of explaining things that just sinks in for some of us better than the ways of others. There's no one teaching method that's right for every person, which is why I'm glad there are different videos with different ways of handling this information. Yours works for me, Coalcracker Bushcraft's might work for someone else, Canterbury a third, and so on. Some of it will overlap, too, but that's not a completely bad thing imho. Sometimes it sticks better if a lesson is presented in more than one way, by more than one person.
I realize that you made this video a while ago so you may not read this, but I hope you do. You need to realize that not everyone teaches the same way, and not everyone learns the same way. I feel you teach very clearly and are very good at showing what you are doing as well as explaining. I learn much easier from you then from Mr. C or Mr W. So please continue. Thank you. 👍🏻
These vids are fantastic. I just got my Suunto mc-2. I read through the directions brochure but honestly you're vids are just much more practical. Thank you.
I've said this several times already, but worth repeating, Great Channel, Great instruction, very well explained and shown, that is why you are sought out, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge, keep them coming,
God Bless You Good Sir
Well done, Cpl. Kelly! Your presentation was clear and concise. All the best, Gordon
Three years later this was the first video of land navigation to pop up when searching land navigation basics. Outstanding sir!
You dont get enough credit for what you do big homie. Thank you. I watch your content every day. What a library of information. Once again thank you Marine for your service 2 times!
Giving instructional videos like this a wide audience is important, particularly for people who overutilize GPS apps and smartphones. Understanding the basics of longitude/latitude and knowing how to not only use a compass, but also reading topo maps.
Corporal I would like to see more but to be honest I am very green at this but I will try and keep up and not slow the class down lol. Thanks and keep the videos coming!
Harry claims don't be a scumbag. There's no room for people like you in our military
Your ability to make videos that enable the viewer to actually be able to learn and do the task is possibly the best in almost every survival/bushcraft UA-cam channel and that is really appreciated, I could watch 7 vids of other peoples in a row and still not be able to ‘get’ how to do a task, while just one of yours and I’ve got it 👍🏻
Haven't had to do this since Camp Pendleton and NTA in Okinawa over 35 years ago. Outstanding class reinforcing the basics. Well Done. Semper Fi
Please keep these videos coming. Great stuff with very straight forward and basic explanations that are easy to follow. I enjoy the videos with your son, too. However, I tend to get a lot more info in a smaller span of time on these short, but more informative videos. Very impressive. Thank you. Best of luck to you.
He'll yeah, do it bro, let's see the next step in the series.
Cliff Stewart was dead on in his assessment of your ability to impart information in a manner that is easily understood. Definitely keep up the good work. I for one, appreciate it very much.
This is the best video I’ve seen on this subject for beginners. Others I’ve seen and read may start simple but then make a leap and start talking talking about things that they haven’t defined yet and it gets confusing. Thanks for the video; definitely wasn’t a waste of time!
