Just wondering what level of orienteering abilities we might share out there. I've mentioned this before a while back, but does anyone know how to find themselves using only landmarks, a compass and no map?

Most orienteering is taught using a scaled map and an orienteering compass with a scale or scales calbrated to the map. This is a nice thing to have, but not absolutely necessary if you know how to triangulate your position without a but knowing a landmark. It does require you keep or memorize a sine table. The nice thing is if you take the time and effort to memorize the table, it never changes.

I've put this method to the test at least a dozen times, and I've only missed my mark on three occasions. Terrain was a factor in each miss, but I've learned to compensate for it since then. In each case, I still found my way to the destination by complementary means.
