using a compass isn't hard but some struggle with it. plus most use their phones gps these days.

I don't have a phone and I don't carry a compass in my EDC. I do have one in my bigger kits. I do have a a GPS in the car and truck and they come in handy when we take side trips in the smoky mountains. I fact I am going on a gold hunt next weekend and will use the GPS to get to the trail head and a compass to get to the sand bar I want to look at from there. Although I suspect there will be a trail, as I can't be the only one to see the potential of the spot.

But these big rains we have had this month should have washed new placer deposits out of the mountains.

Got off track.

These cards look like a very good/easy way to refresh your compass use and the overlays should be of value. Small enough for a pocket and light enough not to matter.

Well go ahead with your bad self Woodyz. About damn time you do something fun and relaxing. I hope you hit the mother lode. Thanks for the heads up on the cards.

PS If ya do hit the mother lode remember who wished it for ya.

Map reading and compass use definitely my weak spot.

I thought you were a spotter for artillery, how can you not read a compass?

Friendly fire AIN'T

Nope was never a forward observer. I can read a compass or I’d never made it through the land nav courses in OCS, Officer basic. But it’s not my strong suit. I’m not the guy you want picking the way through the woods. More importantly I know it and admit it.
