As far as land nav goes.. find a topo map of your area, throw a ruck on and simply go out and terrain associate yourself from point A to B. You don't need to train on a designated land nav course with pre-positioned surveyed points. Pick a spot on the map and navigate to it.. when you think you are in the right spot check your position with a GPS - but do not use the GPS as a guide.
If you need more help than these pretty easy suggestions you may not be quite what we are looking for.
Best of luck

Irish, you should probably review the stickies and rules and introduce yourself in the proper place before posting again.
