SFAS Land Navigation Tips
!! Pace Count * Understand how fatigue, terrain, load, etc., add steps to your 100m count. * Use beads (A good way is to by hobby beads (e.g., from Wal-Mart) and thread them over 550 cord that is folded double with the white strings (guts) pulled out. This is just the right amount of tension without being very difficult to thread.) * d = rt, the "dirt" formula: ** Distance = Rate * Time ** Rate = Distance / Time ** Time = Distance / Rate ** Know your land-nav speed and use it to estimate how long it is going to take you to get to your next point or checkpoint. ** If you don't know it estimate 2km/hr. It sounds slow but it is realistic when you account for map checks, slowdowns, and confusion.
