>>2384924Make a few courses and try to follow them. You'll learn pretty quickly. It's just "set degrees, rotate compass until needle lines up, go where the direction of travel points". Hardest part for me was always that paces are a variable unit on inconsistent terrain.
>>2385485Yes and no. If you always use the same busted compass you'll be okay but if you're sharing your bearings with someone else you need an accurate compass.
>>2385435What's with the bronze/silver star stuff? I never heard of these until just now and I'm an eagle.
