Description
Regain confidence when electronics fail by using classical navigation with modern clarity. You will learn to read contour shapes as terrain stories instead of abstract lines. Compass sessions cover bearings, declination, handrails, and catching features that prevent error drift. We teach pace count calibration and how to reconcile time, distance, and terrain difficulty. Route design labs show how to pre-build decision points and bailouts into your plan. You will practice simple sketch mapping to brief partners and debrief after travel days. A micro-weather segment explains how visibility changes affect navigation choices. Group protocols include lead-switching and communication that keeps teams aligned. Error drills teach how to detect and correct mistakes early without compounding them. By completion, you will navigate cleanly and explain your choices with confidence.
