Real good navigators can map to ground everything. Every bump in a contour no matter how small is info. Flat bush can be challenging but if the sun is out, piece of piss. Compass is useless...

Doctrinal patrol pace for a close country patrol. :D A good thing for people to do is to measure 100 metres and mark it with two cones. Walk the 100 metres several times and count the number of...

I've got a couple of older Garmin GPS (non mapping ones) if anyone wants one. No cost - actually, maybe shipping. Might have the Bushcraft and Mountaincraft manuals floating about too. Would rather...

I usually reckon on a max travel speed of 500 metres per hour if hunting. Good advice about "aiming off" Dougie :thumbsup:

I bought my rifle today too. Went to a new shop and fell in love with the Marlin 925. Felt much better than the marlin XT22. Hopefully I will be putting it to good use sometime this week.

Were you testing the durability of the shooting mat or the bipod? :P

I think this bipod has potential of becoming the bee's knees for alpine hunting. It has the handling properties of my Versapod, but not the weight. Time will tell, one sample is too little to form...

A compass is old school and outdated? You'd completely rely on a GPS? Remind me to never follow you Into the bush. What happens if your GPS gets water damaged or has a software malfunction? I'd never...

May as well toss the map as well, just take the laptop and a couple of car batteries to power it up and have google earth at your fingertips

Compass doesn't need batteries, works in rain, shine, baking deserts, frigid arctic etc. Might be old technology but the fact that's it's still being used by armies and navies around the world to...
