I love land nav!
Navigation with a GPS is not land nav.
My base pace count is 65-68 (every left foot), it will never be forgotten and I haven't land nav’d in 15 years!
My dad thought me land nav when I was about 14 or 15, he took me to a local state park that had an orienteering course set up on it. As many have said join a club, if they still exist. Check your local state or federal park to see if they host these clubs.
Excellent advice otherwise.
Oh yeah, trust your compass, even when YOU know you’re right! After crossing through 50m of thickets, I knew I was headed the right way...I pulled out my compass and realized I came out of the thickets where I started facing 180 deg from my direction of travel!
