Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire "Hikers" - lack of outdoor skills, and loss of Scouting

My map and compass training in the Marine Corps, both as an enlisted Marine and as an Officer, during daylight and the hours of darkness, was one of the most important skills I learned and have retained. No doubt. Was also very helpful in my career as an aviator, being able to fly Nap of the Earth (NOE) as well as VFR cross country.
