Thread: GPS?

I usually reckon on a max travel speed of 500 metres per hour if hunting.

Doctrinal patrol pace for a close country patrol.

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 paces it takes you at a normal walking gait. You'll soon figure out how many paces you average per 100 metres. If you use this enough, you'll get surprisingly good at estimating distance covered using only your paces.

Whilst you're at it, put a bucket over your head (Or just close your eyes if you want to look less strange) and walk the 100 meters between the cones. Do this several times and you'll establish what your bias is.

Does anyone here know how to do a resection using a compass and map? One of the best open country navigation techniques.
