- Thanks to smartphones and Google maps, we're all navigation experts now. But what are the best tools to use offline? Paper maps, dedicated GPS devices, tablets, or something else?

My 5 best mapping tools:
1) Pokemon Go
2) Two crayons and a piece of paper
3) the Maps song memorized from Dora the explorer
4) Asking for directions and not paying attention to them
5) Flipping a coin when I'm not sure if I should go left or right
My trusty go to is if you pick a direction and go straight you'll eventually come back to where you were standing originally

Please tell me you have a Hawaiian shirt and a plate carrier
Just follow your heart, that's what I do. - Napoleon Dynamite
What about spinning around in a circle until you're dizzy then walking in whatever random direction you land in?
People don't wanna hear it, but the land nav, the cyber security, and comms videos are more likely to save/improve your life vs how you set up your plate carrier or whether you run a red dot or an lpvo. Not to say plate carriers and rifles aren't important, but you have to have balance.
Your right, it's what gives an edge to our U.S. military.
Since plate carriers and red dots were mentioned: If you have gotten yourself into or in the middle of an armed conflict, where at least one of the other sides is a sophisticated military - any electronics are almost guaranteed to be more of a liability than an asset. (unless, of course, you have unobtanium type encrypted military grade equipment)
Agree chap most people tht go into bush don't know how yo navigate it's a great skill to learn thx
Nav has saved my life on several occasions. Personal hygiene as well.
Plus all those topics are talked about by Isaac, who is leagues beyond luc-ass in terms of presenting information.
“So this video is not going to have a cool intro…”
So that was a lie 🧐
Learning psy-ops are just as important as guerilla warfare.
Isaac was already looking too much like flannel daddy 😏
Lies! What is this, CNN?!?!
I can feel the smoothness of my brain slowly forming into something useful
I can feel the roughness of my brain finally becoming something smooth
And here I am, old AF, and stuck with a mushy walnut.
I HATE all you brainiacs!!
You should let me eat your brains (with a side of Fava Beans, Natch. Think Hannibal Lecter, eh?) to expand MY knowledge.
Please?
@@user-td1zo3tv9p you can’t be too much older. I had to look up AF
Doubtful

Tbh, these are my favorite videos. Everyone is putting out "shoot stuff fast" videos but very few are putting out the other "98% of what it actually takes to really be prepared" videos.
Thanks a ton Isaac.
Building out the well rounded civilian, one video at a time. Keep it up!
That's the plan.
Issac, do more videos!!! You have a way of articulating and presenting information that would normally bore the hell outta me from others, but I'm locked in when your presenting. Always solid stuff!
Same. His way of presenting the info is excellent.
I concur
Bump ^
Same. ADHD brain listens to Isaac for some reason.
AGREED
Isaac back at it again with the super helpful knowledge bombs 🙌
Exactly what i was thinking
I really like how this channel has evolved into more than just fast shooting. It has really filled an niche that, most channels don't cover as it cover multiple topics that most shooting channel don't cover. keep it up.
Another great video!
hwite light :D

Isaac is obviously the eldest brother. Smart enough to know shot bot was onto something, humble enough to get involved, and wise enough to lead from behind.
This new device he is “NOT” developing… should be called…
The Carmen SanDiego
I second that! haha
Whenever I see Isaac, I feel my brain expanding.
Awesome video!
Rescuers down under references are appreciated:)
That was a unexpected but welcome bonus
I just introduced my wife to the first rescuers movie last night. She had never heard of them. Down Under is next on the list
Truly a man of culture.
Inspector gadget over here, pulling one device after another from his jacket
Bonus points for The Rescuers reference!!!
So actuallyyyy...that was Rescuers Down Under, lol. But yeah that was good.
"Fine. Which way do we go?"
...
**Both point** "That way!"
Oh yeah, that would have been a good clip.
Its videos like these and the podcasts as well that prove this is one of the best companies out there. T-Rex Arms consistently go far beyond trying to sell you their products, and instead constantly try to inform the masses, get them to think rather than just tell them what to think.
Isaac, please continue to release these kinds of videos. They help more than you could imagine.
Ive been spending the last 3 days taking a deep dive into understanding ATAK, different mesh systems, different plug-ins, etc. Timing on this vid is nice.
That garmen foretrex is no joke, got me through the gauntlet portion of maneuver training…..it came to be known as the most prized of possessions….the woobie
Here comes Amazon marketing the "tactical Kindle" with FDE sleep covers.
everyone may love the gun stuff on this channel and that gets the views, but this is the stuff that you will be using more often. Keep this stuff coming guys, cant shoot yourself outta being lost!
Can't look cool if you get lost going to the party.
Was a career 19D. I used the garmin foretrex, but mostly for spot check. I spent so much time committed to maps and protractor it seemed faster.
Pffffff just dead reckon everywhere scout!
My man out here giving us useful information AND bringing Rescuers Down Under back into the public eye. True King.
I deeply appreciate how detailed you guys are in your videos. Well done gents.
Isaac is putting out the absolute best content. I feel like he's a mad scientist with a large budget and is told, "Ok... Figure out how we can do THIS." And he runs off and tests a ton of stuff. You're doing the Lord's work, bro.
ive had this train of thought for years. glad to see someone is putting it out there and using their network to improve it!
Here in Texas with the deep freeze I couldn't recognize a lot even though I knew the roads. Doing this video on scene with flood damage, torn down sign and all, made an impact on the usefulness of always having a good civilian option for maps. I'll be checking out some of your recommendations and updating my paper maps as they're all old now. Thank you for the informative video. Keep up the good work!
Happy to see the S2 plug!!!
Cant' tell you enough how awesome this is. I've looking for more information just like this. Please continue this more in the future. Thanks👍👍
28:49 "signs cant always be trusted." Perfect opportunity for Jurassic Park clip insert...
Mad props to whoever picked the interleaved video clips for this one. The selection was top-notch.
Damnit, Isaac talked about ATAK…. No, ATAK doesn’t work well (actually not all) with a Baofeng. We’re working on things, but I feel like we’re WAY off.
ATAK feels like a sort of holy grail, whether it is or not. I have the people, the resources, but I don't have the knowledge to let us work together. For example, my group can operate like a squad might. We could even expand or work with another group using some cheap ham radios, but we can't necessarily keep track of each other, or leverage cool stuff like drone feeds. It's also crappy trying to colocate one another with any expediency.
So, ATAK seems like it could solve some of those issues, but we don't know how to leverage it. Gah!
ALSO, we know other people are trying to make use of it. And while we might currently be separated, it would be awesome to combine groups through a tool like that.
I love this educational but down to earth video. The movie references as well as information makes this lighthearted but educational. Keep your attention well.
Second video in...I love this channel...didn't know a think about mapping until now. So useful! More map videos!
I'm getting started in land navigation. This video is perfect for getting up to speed quickly on a number of different technologies and use cases. Thanks👊🏼🇺🇸
I love how y'all use movie clips in such pro videos! I loved the Homecoming clip.
This definitely was worth watching. Thanks for taking the time to share it with us.
Definitely the best footage of how to read a map at night. Movie references on point as well
I love the way Isaac says BUT. I don’t know why but I just love they way he says that word
Y'all have been really putting our great content!
Awesome vids, love the knowledge stuff, communications, navigation, ECT.. look forward to seeing more.
Straight up great info kinda weird I've been looking into this kinda stuff past couple days then boom this video drops just found meshtastic gonna grab one up n maybe a raspberry pi gotta say I do love your brothers shooting videos but this and your communications videos are probably some of my favorite
OSMAND is the reason I grabbed a phone with a bunch of internal storage. The elevation data is amazing for RV road trips and planning routes to avoid grades. The Boox Nova is almost perfect, GPS and Compass missing though is a deal breaker.
Until the Grid goes down and you relied solely on electronics
@@clutch663 Get a thomas guide(or several)? Been mapping for 26 years, well longer than any of the convenient electronic means. I yawn at some gotcha comment.
Not the video I thought we'd be getting a Garand Thumb cameo in finally, but I'm not complaining.
Re watching the videos always helps make the understanding better! Issac MVP. THANK YOU
the e reader concept for mapping is a great idea. you could ad physical switches for the brightness/ir backlight toggle along with physical toggles for the wifi and gps radios. it would also be interesting to see what could be done through the bluetooth protocol with a cell phone app that could pair with the e reader or maybe use it to link multiple devices that use e ink displays. possibly have an arm mounted unit and than a tablet sized unit that could be carried in a bag. i love the video. definitely some interesting concepts here that need to be explored further and the applications are certainly not limited to land navigation and search and rescue.
Love this informative series!
Great info and a tad cheeky! Appreciated the cut scenes
Thanks. I loved it. Great follow up to my first Trex Arms video.
Great info as always. Thanks Isaac!
Great video to cover this topic. A bit more food for thought is the ease at which GPS or any other GNSS signals can be jammed or manipulated to give you bad position data. It's illegal in the US but not hard to do with a it of know-how and hardware and not illegal for the government to do. That, paired with cell towers being shut down or saturated during disasters make a great case for having a backup of paper or offline maps and solid fundamentals in analog land navigation skills using your Mk01 eyeballs and M1 brain.
I know this isn't the super cool burning the range down videos that Lucas does, but I genuinely love these super informative talks that Isaac does. I also love the editing lmao.
Question related to the topic: What are your thoughts on the Yaesu FT5DR, and other such radios with built in GPS?
USB or Bluetooth external GPS module that can be run with certain developer settings enabled. Boom, android e reader with gps. handglider pilots have solved this problem already. Some have even added a mini switch to the VCC power line to have a physical on off for the gps if you hard wire it.
Can you post some resources on the GPS module, developer settings, and what the glider guys are using?
The most important content you guys put out
Get the app and got the maps. These videos are great! Keep them coming!
One thing the Army taught me that stuck forever, land navigation. Give me a compass and a 1:50 scale map and I can navigate anywhere I choose to roam.
Don’t forget your GM angle warrior!
Thank you for putting in the work on this isaac
Very good video. Cool stuff Isaac 😎
Love this!!
I love Osmand ever since you mentioned it on the first communication video awhile back. Also maps are awesome, been fascinated with them since I was a kid.
These types of videos are the best
Very nice, thank you for this information.
Love Isaac's videos!
Awesome content
*PERFECT* ! *WELL DONE* !
Excellent, excellent video!
Nice video! love it.
Your such a good teacher! Well done, again!👍
I paused and downloaded OSMAND! Bests regards from a Venezuelan follower!
Awesome video brother. I always like your videos.
I like this kind of content. More of this please
Loved the Harrison Ford clips!
Damn... That "Rescuers: Down Under" cameo hit different. Bernard's a pimp.
Great vid Isaac, keep kickin down this priceless knowledge.
These videos are such quality one .. i'm in europe and litterally noting everything :D thanks guys
These videos get me excited for land-nav
We're so fortunate to have T.Rex Arms continue to provide us with quality information like this.
Good video. Thank you. This one will be helpful to me.
Awesome educating video..!!!
These are the videos I enjoy most.
Avenza maps is another great app, you can download load the USGS 1: 24,000 topo maps, and import your own maps as long as they are georeferenced pdf's. I use it all the time for my work and I find it very easy to use.
When I just listen to you it's like Norm MacDonald teaching me stuff!
High praise.
💀
😢
I'm loving this video
Real-time sand table... I need to learn computers... Excellent info Thanks again!
Love the "Rescuers down under" cut away.
"Not going to have cool intro.." proceeds to put on awesome intro and video! Excellent information!
Will not be able unhear Isaac saying “hhh-white” 😂
My favorite topic!
Slow day at the lumber yard, this video just made my whole day..
Great video
Great educating video..!!!
👍🤙💪😎
Thanks this is good information. 👍
This is awesome.
For a minute I thought the video said 5 best Napping tools and I never felt so disappointed 😔
Very Good my friend…
great video
Great video and a lot of food for thought. Not sure if I can forgive you for making me remember Crystal Skull though....
Very nice
NavNerds unite! Also, the Rescuers Down Under clips were on point.
Amazing video.. video of this quality (and amount of information) should become lecture in school! (also for the way they are presented.. as somebody non native to english, the clarity and the quality of the lexicon used is not only refreshing but also instructive!). I hope to be constructive adding that it may be a good idea to take a look at Drive Mode Dashboard, which is an app for android platform that offer roadbook navigation, offline maps and it is catered towards offroading.. yes, it is thought for motorbike riders but I think it is worth a look.. thanks again and keep up the good work
