Being able to adjust for declination on a baseplate compass is one of the ways that sets them apart from a lensatic. But how, and why do we adjust for it? In this video, I'll demonstrate how to adjust on both a Brunton and a Silva compass. Get up to date on the channel, future content, live, super huge thanks!

Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face. It's a famous quote by Iron Mike Tyson, and it deserves some consideration in light of recent times and current events. Subscriber Louie Morris submitted his creed he wrote a while back, and it's worth considering. It begins with an affirmation of faith that propels him to action. Do you have a creed you live by? Have you written it down? If so, leave some comments down below. Here's Louie's for you to consider: "I BELIEVE THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD. THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB. AND THAT IS “YAHWEEH” ONLY. HE HAS ONLY ONE SON AND “YAHUSHUA” IS HIS NAME. HE WAS BORN OF A VIRGIN BIRTH. HE WAS CRUCIFIED AND THREE DAYS LATER HE AROSE. HE “YAHWEEH” IS THE CREATOR OF ALL. THEREFORE I’M PART OF HIS CREATION. I’M THEREFORE BOUND TO FOLLOW GOD IN ALL OF HIS WAYS. I WILL STRIVE DAILY TO WALK IN HIS PATH. I BELIEVE THAT THE BIBLE IS THE INSPIRED WORD OF GOD. THEREFOR IT IS A LAMP UNTO MY PATH. I WILL ANSWER TO HIM FOR ALL THAT IS IN THE BIBLE. THIS IS WHERE I WILL GET MY LAWS AND MY RIGHTS. THE BIBLE IS BROKEN DOWN INTO TWO PARTS. HOW TO SERVE HIM. AND HOW TO TREAT MY FELLOW MAN. THE ONLY THING I HAVE TO ANSWER TO MAN FOR IS IF I HURT SOMEONE PHYSICALLY OR THEIR PROPERTY. I’M FREE AND HAVE A FREE WILL. I HAVE AN OBLIGATION TO STAND AND TO PROTECT MY RIGHTS AND MY FREEDOM AS PART OF HIS CREATION. I’M TO LOVE MY FELLOW MAN AS MYSELF. THEREFORE I’M OBLIGATED TO STAND AND TO PROTECT HIS RIGHTS AND FREEDOM."
