There's Muddy Creek greenway that's pretty flat and definitely long enough we could do it as an out and back. If we meet up on the Robin Hood road side, there's a Messican joint just up the road we could get some cerveza and tacos at.

We will be doing a full day event date TBD. Tentative schedule is 6 mile ruck (3 mile option for any new members) starting at 10:00am. After the ruck we will have lunch (bring your own - depending on location we may not have any cooking areas) and then continue into two blocks of training - intro to land nav, and intro into mountaineering. How in depth we go will depend on getting the proper members there to run the classes. I will post up a seperate thread and try and tag everyone in it. This is a perfect time to reach out to friends outside our normal circle and bring them into the fold!

Crossposted from the thread in the APC HTF:
I'm thinking for this exercise Uhwarrie will be a better fit. It's more centrally located so we can hopefully get more folks in from around the state. Now we need instructors. It's been 21 years since I have done land nav. Anyone have some more recent experience? We also need someone to do the intro to mountaineering. I know when we do the rappelling class (I'm figuring March or April for that one) @FREEFALLE7 will be our main instructor, and that will be at Rocky Face. I'll try and have that one set up as a midday class to let those who will be traveling to have time to get there. |

Learn your knots and how to tie a swiss seat. There are videos and very good descriptions of when and for what purpose you'd use a given knot on the Sapper Leader Course website. Hint. Hint.

Yea on the knots, no worries I can teach them.
Much easier tying knots at the rope coral than when you are underwater wearing a weight belt.

Reading a typo map, identifying terrain features, finding your location by triangulation, plotting points. Next go around would be a super quick refresher and then finding points. |

I'm guessing dates still TBD? Early Feb would be better for me.
Other than the one weekend day/month I have to work, some Highpower rifle matches might get in the way. XTC matches at Camp Butner are the weekend of Jan 30-31 and Feb 27-28 (are HP matches still part of APC firearms portion?). My son shooting HP and getting on one of NC's junior teams makes attendance even more of a priority. |

Looks like the full grid based on Google Earth is 17SNV9042619500 for the center of the map that I think will cover the training area(s) we will most likely be using. |

Definitely interested. Going to be out of town Presidents Day weekend and one other in the next month or so (not sure when yet unfortunately) but otherwise I'm down.
Also might have the Commie Flu (getting tested this afternoon) so this weekend would be out unfortunately. Hopefully it doesn't make you a Commie permanently. |

All trails is a good source for planning a route. They also have a great mobile phone app. It's a charge for offline maps.

What is Uwharrie's thoughts on going off trail?
With land nav, it's shoot an azimuth, know your pace count, and walk a relatively straight line to your points, depending on terrain? |
