F F. Using a Compass ra f t This chapter describes how to use a sighting compass. A sighting compass has the same features as a baseplate compass, but adds a vertical mirror that allows you to view the compass dial and the landmark at the same time. Figure F–1 Sighting Compass (70-0067) D For a in-depth descriptions of using a compass with a map and setting the declination on a compass see the following links: http://www.compassdude.com/default.shtml http://www.compassdude.
ra f t F. Using a Compass Figure F–2 Declination Indication on Map However, because of the dynamic nature of the Earth’s magnetic field, old maps are inaccurate. To obtain the most recent declination values, enter your map location at the following link: http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/geomag-web/#declination CAUTION Placing magnetic objects near a compass can cause an incorrect reading (deviation).
ra f t F. Using a Compass Figure F–3 Compass and Map Adjust for declination. ● If you have an adjustable compass – Move the Orienting Arrow to the right or left by the declination number. When you align the magnetic needle with the Orienting Arrow, the declination is accounted for. ● If you do not have an adjustable compass – Mark the declination on your compass with a piece of tape. Align the magnetic needle with the tape mark. ● Adjust the Orienting Arrow to the left or right.
Figure F–4 Compass Adjusted for Declination Pick up the compass and adjust the cover so the angle of the cover to the base is between 45 and 70 degrees. ra f 4 t F. Using a Compass Hold the base of the compass in the palm of your hand. Keep the compass level. Turn your entire body and the compass until the red end of the Magnetic Needle is aligned with the red end (north end) of Orienting Arrow. D 5 Figure F–5 Compass Adjusted for Declination R01.
G G. Rope Knot D ra f t This chapter shows how to tie a taut-line hitch knot. This loop knot can be adjusted to loosen or tighten a line, yet holds under a load. This knot is commonly used to secure tent lines and loads on vehicles. It is the recommended knot for securing the RT System 2 guy rope mast.
