		<description><![CDATA[Loving the outdoors is a learned concept. It normally starts at a very young age; therefore, parents do play an important role in forming that life-long relationship. However, certain factors may preclude this from happening &#8211; scarcity of time , general disinterest, lack of knowledge, or even a genuine concern about safety. These are valid [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When navigating with a compass on a specific azimuth/direction, never walk with the compass in the open position. It&#8217;s not only hard on the compass,  it further subjects it  to possible damage ; plus,  it’s not accurate when used this way. It is better to identify an easily recognizable landmark on the azimuth/direction line of movement. These landmarks or steering [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Movement by Dead Reckoning consists of two basic, fundamental Map Reading/Land Navigation steps: The use of a protractor and graphic scales to determine the direction/azimuth and distance from one point to another on a map. Use of a compass and some means of measuring distance to apply this information on the ground. Essentially, Dead Reckoning normally begins [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Movement by Terrain Association is quicker, less tedious, more forgiving and fun than is Dead Reckoning (dependent on previous location/computations). However, there will be times during movement by Terrain Association when you will need to stop and confirm your position through either plotted or estimated resection. Errors made using Terrain Association can be corrected fairly [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A needed preliminary step to map/ground association is to orient the map with the lay of the land.  After orientation, if you plot your location on the map, and while doing it see  a hill top 2000 yards to the northwest, you should be able to look up and see that same hill top to your right-front [...]]]></description>

A pace is equal to one normal step. You must determine how many paces it takes you to walk 100 meters/yards. The average pace for an adult male is 30 inches in length. [...]]]></description>

For me, the difficulty is not following the compass reading but rather keeping [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Compass to Cheek method of holding a Lensatic Compass is used almost exclusively for sighting. Obviously, if using, there must be enough light to see the far distant aiming point/object. The following sequential steps can be used to place the compass into operation: Open the Lensatic Compass cover (w/sighting wire) to a vertical position. [...]]]></description>
