Land Navigation Technique – Boxing Out
Even if you are really skilled at using a map and compass, sometimes finding your intended destination can be a challenge. So, I’d like to share with you a really useful tool called Boxing Out.
Boxing Out can come in handy in many situations. For example, a hiker could use it to help find a trail intersection. Maybe you are competing in an orienteering race run by our friends at the Western Pennsylvania Orienteering Club and can’t seem to find one of their checkpoint flags. Or perhaps you are a soldier training for Special Forces selection knowing that its landed navigation course is viewed by many as the toughest in the U.S. military and so is the key reason why so many fail. Boxing Out, then, can be a really important tool to use.
