We were to navigate to four points, each quite some distance apart, using map, compass, and our pace count (pace count: the number of paces you need to cover 100 meters). Our first practical exercise demonstrated that for me. It would become our mascot for our stay.Įven skills you once mastered must be practiced lest they grow rusty. While setting up camp, Tex (the funniest person I have ever met from Texas) caught a lizard and tied it (using the strand inside 550 cord) to a tree. A perpetual fire would provide our heat (there was also a heated tent for treating cold weather injuries, if necessary). Then, we gathered a large amount of wood from the surrounding forest. They would provide our shelter during the cold evenings. Upon arriving at our bivouac sight, we first setup large, 15-man tents. The third day, we set out on our own to prove our skills. Each of the first two days are designed as two-man team events. Three days and nights of land navigation on the same challenging course used by Special Forces. Today we put our classroom skills to the test.
