How to use a Military Protractor for Land Navigation
In this video I'll provide a description of a military protractor; how I set one up; how to use it to plot a grid coordinate; determine an azimuth as well as distance from one point to another.
If you need a protractor - here's one I recommend https://amzn.to/2VM1UpP As an Amazon associate I may earn a small commission for my endorsement, recommendation, testimonial.
It's Q&A Wednesday - and it's time to think about how to have a good day, when things aren't going well. That and the ole' stokerism "Cupcaking and Lollypoppin'!"

SLLS. A simple survival essential that warriors have known and used for centuries. Whether you're conducting a short halt due to an external factor, or it was a planned tactic - this basic technique can enable you to realign yourself with your situation and truly live in the moment.
Not only that, but it can save your life. You STOP - LOOK - LISTEN - and SMELL. It's always to be conducted during the start of your operation - it enables you to ensure everything is going according to plan. It can also be conducted any other time to retain situational awareness.
It doesn't matter if you're on a patrol, moving through the woods or the urban jungle - it doesn't matter if you're in the office space and simply need to slow down to reconnect with who you are and your surroundings.
This technique can ensure you live. Live life.
