SUMMARY:Map & Compass Navigation
DESCRIPTION:Map & Compass Navigation (aka Orienteering):  The Art of Staying Found\n“I’m pretty sure you can’t get there from here.” –overheard–\nGain confidence in finding your way and knowing where you are whether you’re on-trail or traveling cross-country.  This comprehensive 2-day course covers the essential skills of back-country navigation using the most reliable equipment:  Map & Compass \nYOU are the ‘WHO‘ … we’ll provide the ‘WHAT‘\, ‘WHERE‘\, ‘WHEN‘\, ‘WHY‘ and ‘HOW‘ of Map & Compass Navigation.  In the age of Global Positioning Satellites (and the electronic devices used to access the network … commonly referred to as GPS units)\, why is learning Map & Compass navigation still relevant?  Think of a GPS as a luxury\, and a Map & Compass as a necessity.  Will a GPS work if the batteries die?  Will a GPS work in a canyon?  Will a GPS work when it’s overcast or if under a canopy of trees?  Will a GPS be useful without maps?  The answer to those questions is “probably not!”  While a GPS is a fantastic tool\, it is not as reliable as ye olde map and compass. \nStaying found (or not getting lost) is not an instinct or an innate skill … but it CAN be learned.  \nIn this vital class\, you’ll be trained in and have time to practice the following: \n\nParts of a Compass & how they work together\nMagnetic North and how to use Declination to adjust for True North\nTopographic Map Legend\, Symbols & Contour Lines\nTerrain Recognition for interpreting features\nMicro-Navigation to keeping track of exact location\nDead Reckoning for obscure navigation challenges\nNaismith’s Rule & Backpacker’s Rule for trip preparation and estimating distance travelled\nOrienting a Map in the field\nTaking Bearings/Plotting Bearings\nFinding Location through Triangulation\nLatitude/Longitude vs UTM Coordinates\nTips & Tricks for Navigating without Map & Compass! \n\n[divider colorstyle=”colorstyle_1″ dividerstyle=”style_1″ paddingtop=”” paddingbottom=”” animation=”” ] \nDay 1:  …will be held in our classroom in Chatsworth\, CA 8:00-5:00pm \nDay 2:  …will be held in-the-field near Agua Dulce\, CA (about 20 miles up Hwy 14\, so consider setting up carpools during the class on Day 1)  9:00-2:00pm \n[divider colorstyle=”colorstyle_1″ dividerstyle=”style_1″ paddingtop=”” paddingbottom=”” animation=”” ] \nThe cost of this 2-day course is $195 and includes all instruction\, handouts and USGS topographic maps (quadrangles) for the practice area.  Compasses will be available at the store at a 15% discount ($45.89).  The compasses we recommend and the ones which will be for sale are the Silva Ranger CL.  If you decide to bring your own compass or another brand/style\, please be sure it has a sighting mirror\, orienting arrow\, orienting lines\, clear base plate\, declination scale and a rotating dial/bezel. \n[divider colorstyle=”colorstyle_1″ dividerstyle=”style_1″ paddingtop=”” paddingbottom=”” animation=”” ] \nHosted by Klaus Gerhart  |  Instructor: Brian Swanson  Canyon Leader for Canyoneering California\, Basic Mountaineering and Navigation Instructor for Sierra Club’s Wilderness Travel Course.
