Question at the 31:43 mark regarding cliffs. Let's say each contour line is 20 feet apart just like with all the prior examples. To make sure I'm reading it correctly, the first contour line is right at the top of the cliff and the second contour line that makes contact is the bottom. That would indicate 2 touching contour lines is a 20 foot tall cliff? And if 3 lines are touching, also indicating a cliff, that would be a 40 foot tall cliff?
I have my dad‘s .270 and the screws are insanely small. It looks like it was from the 80s. How I find how do I find out what kind of rail put on top? These four screws seem impossibly small for a Picatinny rail.
Thank you for producing this very through presentation. One point I want to note: at 47:08 you refer to the edge of the map as grid north, but in fact the left and right map borders are aligned to true north. Grid north is the adjusted UTM grid for that quad and deviates from the map edges by (grid north declination) degrees.
Hi Rick. My name is Lambert and I’m in South Africa. I have done my military service for the SADF but that was over 30 years ago. Currently I’m studying your Land Navigation and found it to be very comprehensive and accurate. Thank you. If you don’t know much about the South African political situation… We are days away from a election and those who have the knowledge ( formal high ranking SADF personnel) warns of a serious threat to safety. We ( family) are retreating to one of the last natural reserve in my country. Away from big cities and the anarchy, riots and violence. My question to you please??? As How do I find part 2 to 4 of your videos
As someone who was military, had made these before, no idea why I watched this. Just seemed good, but if you’re military. You laughed watching this 😏 Don’t lie.
Not sure about quality, for example accuracy, we use degrees and on the Cammenga degrees is a secondary low precision scale, the precision scale being mills. The luminous bezel line can only be set by ear with 3° clicks, counting 120 clicks to the circle. ...
Thank you it’s been so long since I’ve look at or even nav on a compass. I’m 57 and was a young cadet/reserves til 23.Just watching part1 brings back memories.
Excellent video. Just a minor thing, at 14:46 that would be wrong. The sighting wire should be at 90 degrees, not folded down. Like you said, even small errors will become magnified with every step. With it folded down, the sight radius is shortened. His sight radius is only a fraction of what it would be with it at 90 degrees. Personally, I find it best to have the lens bracket all the way back as well. I do wear glasses tho so that may be different for each person. Excellent job tho!
I noticed that under the declination it had a 1993 date and I know that the declination changes over time so I tried to look up the current decl. for that map and I could not get very exact. I had to sort of guess where to put a flag on the map on a website. It said currently it is 9º 4’. Now I have to find out what 9º 4’ minutes means.
