Video Transcription

I do uh submission of the native Bible school today we're gonna go over how to shoot an aspen and fall with the stay tuned there are unlimited reasons on where you can get an azmuth why you would need announcement it could be you have a map well you have directions saying from the trailhead take an azimuth of 39 degrees keep following it and the hunting cabin will be at that location after two miles of walking or it could be looking at a map and from where you're standing you've triangulated yourself you know you are orientated your map you see that at a 127 degree azimuth from where you're standing is a lake so you head off in that direction you sure your eyes nothing go there's a lot of different reasons or it could be something in the landscape in the foreground of the landscape that you want to go to like to say a mountain peak something like that you shouldnt azmuth to it and even though you'll walk into the forest and you'll lose sight of the object your compass doesn't lose sight of the object because the azimuth is burned into it and you keep following your Iseman to your destination let's shoot an azmuth okay so there's a mountaintop in the distance right there so if I wanted to shoot an azimuth to it so I could walk all the way to it through the forest and not lose sight of it with my compass and arrive at its base first thing I'm gonna do

is line up my compass I'm looking through the rifle sight on top of my compass keeping everything straight in line this lines going right up the glass straight line the compasses I'm going to angle my glass so I can see my bezel ring and my needle in the red box so as I turn the bezel ring I can see the rifle the object through the rifle sight and I can see what's going on with my compass so I can line it up while I'm lined up with the object very very easy I want to hold the compass as flat as I can and as you can see there's the bezel ring right there in the glass so my nyl is inside my red box okay I'm all lined up from where I'm standing so there's my object I'm gonna turn my ring until it's lined up so now that my azmuth is lined up which happens to be 264 degrees from where I'm standing I'm now going to use that rifle site keep the needle inside the red box as always so I'm standing on my azmuth looking down my azmuth I'm going to line it up with something at the edge of my field that I'm standing in I'm gonna line up with a object nearby at the edge of my vision I'm going to walk to that object happens to be the edge of the leaves of a birch tree down there was a small birch down there with some leaves overhanging so what I would do I walk straight to that place from here I know exactly where my azmuth I'm gonna walk to that second i'ma stand right at the thieves

calm this up again line it all up make sure everything is lined up with my needle inside my red box some still mine azmuth

that way I'm angled properly and I'm gonna see what my rifle sight lines up with again it might be a beech tree a hundred yards in the distance that's how thick the woods are that you're working with from there I walk to that tree and I keep leapfrogging until I reach that mountaintop thanks a lot this has been mature than a survival school see you next time take care
