All,
Had my first night land-nav experience this past weekend.--It was a completely different experience from day land nav. From wrestling with the light to see clearly, to shooting azimuth's in the dark, I performed below my expectations. It did not help that my extension scale was on 500 meter intervals, either. I'm usually pretty good with day land nav (distance, azimuth, not a problem).
Anyway, I was hoping to secure some tips from some of you more experienced guys regarding night land nav. One of the more experienced guys I was with told me to fold up my map in a plastic baggie for fast reference and terrain association. I also need to mark my extension scale prior to determining distance.
What have you found to help you land nav better?
Thanks,
-K
