How to Use a Compass & Map • Compass Navigation Tutorial

what's up Turtles Crick here today Black Out outdoors and I'm going to be doing a video simple basic how-to video of how to use a compass and a map and basically what you're going to be doing is getting a degree or line of travel from the compass or from the map using the
