Special Forces Opportunity

National Geographic Documentary, WE'RE GONNA GIVE YOU THE OPPORTUNITY
TO ACTUALLY NAVIGATE THROUGH THE WOODS
WITH A PACK ON, USING A MAP AND A COMPASS.
HAVE YOU EVER USED A MAP OR A COMPASS BEFORE?
NOT REALLY.
YOU EVER NAVIGATED IN THE WOODS BEFORE? NAH, NEVER.
IT'S GONNA SUCK.
YOU'RE GONNA GET WET.
IT'S GONNA BE COLD.
AND WE'RE GONNA THROW A RUCKSACK ON YOU, MAN.
SO, I HOPE YOU'RE READY FOR THAT.
HOW MUCH DOES THIS THING WEIGH?
IT'S DEFINITELY OVER 80 POUNDS, SO THAT'S REALISTIC.
IS THAT TOO HEAVY? WE CAN TAKE SOME OUT.
I'LL GIVE IT A TRY.
NO.
YOU'RE NOT GONNA QUIT ON ME, ARE YOU? NAH.
SO, YOU READY? LET'S DO IT.
ALL RIGHT, LET'S GO.
YEP.

TO BE SUCCESSFUL AT LAND NAVIGATION,
YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND HOW TO USE A MAP,
HOW TO USE A COMPASS, special forces, AND MORE IMPORTANTLY,
THE BIG PICTURE ON HOW TO TERRAIN ASSOCIATE.
SO YOU CAN'T JUST NAVIGATE THROUGH YOUR WOODS
STARING AT A COMPASS THE ENTIRE TIME AND STARING AT YOUR MAP.
(narrator) SPECIAL FORCES SOLDIERS NEED LAND NAVIGATION SKILLS
TO LOCATE THEIR OBJECTIVE IN UNFAMILIAR TERRITORY
WITHOUT BEING DETECTED BY THE ENEMY.
CONRAD HAS 20 MINUTES TO NAVIGATE ONE MILE,
AND ALL HE HAS IS A COMPASS, A MAP AND HIS TEAMMATES.
CONRAD, YOU GOT TO GET OFF THIS ROAD, MAN.
GET YOUR EQUIPMENT, PACK IT UP, AND GET IN THE WOODLINE.
I DON'T CARE WHICH DIRECTION YOU GO RIGHT NOW.
JUST GET OFF THE ROAD.
YOU DON'T WANT TO WALK UP AND DOWN THE ROAD, ALL RIGHT,
'CAUSE PEOPLE ARE GONNA SEE YOU ON THE ROAD, OKAY?
SO WE'RE GONNA GENERALLY STAY IN HE WOODS,
BUT WE CAN STILL USE THE ROADS AS VISUAL INDICATORS
OF WHERE WE ARE TO HELP US TERRAIN ASSOCIATE
AS WE MOVE THROUGH OUR OBJECTIVE.
WHICH WAY WE GOING? THAT WAY, I THINK.
YOU TURNED LEFT THREE TIMES ALREADY.
YOU WANT TO KEEP IT CENTERED,
PICK A POINT IN THE DISTANCE, WALK TO THAT POINT.
WHAT'S YOUR POINT?
LIKE, THAT TREE.
THE ONE THAT'S CURVED.
ALL RIGHT, THIS IS THE CURVED TREE.
REMEMBER, YOU GOT TWO TEAMMATES RIGHT HERE THAT COULD HELP YOU.
ALL RIGHT, YOU THINK IT LOOKS GOOD?
SEE HOW THE GROUND STARTS TO SLOPE UP RIGHT HERE? UH-HUH.
YOU SEE THIS BROWN LINE RIGHT HERE? YEAH.
THAT'S THAT.
WHOLE POINT OF THIS.
.
.
IS YOU NEED TO GO AS FAST AS YOU CAN
TO BE ABLE TO COMPLETE YOUR MISSION.
WHAT'S YOUR NEXT POINT?
