Compass Hacks Made Easy - Stay Found!
Videoed in Montana, October, 2020
People get lost in the woods, even smart people and that's just a fact. We have the latest navigational technology available to us and it's fantastic, but it has it's limitations and having a reliable backup is handy and makes you so much safer! These days LOTS of folks are heading to the forest for hiking, camping, hunting or just enjoying the beauty of nature, but you can easily get disorientated within a few hundred feet of your camp and end up becoming a statistic or, at the very least, spending a very uncomfortable night in the woods. Your cell phone may not have service, your GPS will go dead, but the lowly compass keeps right on working! The problem is that most folks don't have a clue on how to "Stay Found" with a pocket compass and every video I've ever watched on the subject makes it even more confusing. I hope that this video, done using my simple brain, makes it easier to understand and fun to learn.

Getting out on the road is what Linda and I love to do with our converted cargo trailer camper. We're part time nomads and the nomadic lifestyle suits us to a Tee. Whether your RV is a camper van, camp trailer, travel trailer, motorhome or just a car and a tent, there's going to be something interesting for you in the videos we produce. Back roads and overlanding are part of what we do while exploring the western states for beautiful, peaceful and sometimes remote places to camp on BLM and National Forest land (public land). Taking care of ourselves as much as possible and doing our own repairs is a must because we travel on a fixed income and a limited budget. If your into being off-grid and boondocking whenever possible then you'll appreciate the discussions on batteries, solar panels and solar chargers or power stations. Come on along, we're happy to have your company!
