BPN family, it's time
for the prepper tip of the day.
Well, hello, hello out there in Internet Radio Land.
This is Dave Jones, the NBC guy,
and I have another prepper tip for you today.
And it kind of goes along with the compass.
So here's what the prepper tip is.
Know your pace count.
Okay?
What is a pace count?
That's how many steps you take to make it 100 meters.
So if you have a topographical map, you'll be able to tell how far you've walked into the woods by the number of steps.
So let's say we can use my pace count.
It's 122.
122
for every
120
now in rough terrain
your pace count
would get more
okay
so this is flat
level measured
you can go to a track
and march it off
you know a football field
a track
100 meters
count the steps
and that is your pace
count now when you're going through
the brush and the briars and, you know, snow, any kind of terrain like that,
you have to increase the number of paces to get the same.
Do not think that every 120 is going to cut it because you're going to be taking more steps
so you don't fall over things.
And then have a little piece of parachute cord.
You might see this, you know, on some movies or stuff like that.
a little piece of parachute cord to count tie a knot every 100 meters.
So as many knots as you've tied in that little piece of cord, that's how far you've gone.
And, you know, that way you can keep track of the distance you travel in the woods with your
map along an azmuth, if you know how to use a compass.
So you shoot an azmuth, you go into the woods, you know.
know how far you've gone so you can pinpoint your location, you know, pretty well on the map
because you went on that direction, that azmuth with your compass.
So know what your pace count is and do this now on the flat, on the level, no rain
so that you can determine over rough terrain.
what your pace count would be.
That's my prepper tip for the day.
Pace count.
Take care and prep on.
