Green Mountain Club map and compass instructional videos
June 2, 2010
Are you a bit rusty on your map and compass navigation skills? Since 2003 I have taught map and compass workshops for the Green Mountain Club. Recently, Steve Larose and I teamed up to create a series of instructional videos to give you the basics.
Why to bring a map and compass
What to look for on a map
How to read contour lines
What is magnetic declination
The parts of the map compass
How to orient a map
How to follow a bearing
To learn more, go to the Green Mountain Club to sign up for one of my full day workshops. In the store you can also buy one of the Brunton compasses that I prefer to use.
