Thats exactly what I was looking for. I just started the additional sheets to include in the kit. It's to supplement/correct the information on a set of the Brunton cards. The sum information on direction finding in these is instructions on how to float the disk compass. Actual direction finding is summed up as "REMEMBER: The "N" points north". Nothing about the other methods such as stick & shadow or analog watch.

Your right about the usual use of the compass to maintain a general direction of travel. I ran across an illustration of the effect of only a couple degrees of variation combined with detours around obstacles can have in the woods. I don't remember the distances involved (they were relatively short) but they would have been the difference between a night in the woods on short supplies. The example was a camp located on a creek and traveling to a location and back. You could have found the creek without much problem but once you found it, do you go upstream or down?

Thanks for all the replies. This was exactly what I was looking for.
