Compasses

Types of compasses

There are many kinds and shapes of compasses, however these are the most common you see marketed for survival purposes:
Button compass. Sometimes they’re stand-alone, however they are often built into other gear, like a water-proof match container, to make it seem more "survivaly."
Clear baseplate compass. A transparent plastic base that might be rigid or foldable. The most frequent type for orienteering, and often referred to as an orienteering compass.
Lensatic military compass. Folds in half like a clamshell. Tougher construction. Designed to give very accurate bearings for army needs, eg. for calling in an artillery strike.

Parts of a Compass

Parts of a Compass
1. Rules(Scales)
Each edge of a compass may have different rulers for use with different map scales
2. Direction of Travel
This is a constant line or arrow marked on the base plate, located outside the spinning compass compartment. It points in the same direction the front of the compass is pointing.
3. Orienting Arrow
It is marked on the floor of the housing. It rotates with the housing when the dial is turned. You use it to orient a compass to a map.
4. Declination Scale
It is used to orient the compass in an area with known declination.
5. Dial with Degrees
This is a ring around the housing that has degree markings engraved. You hold the dial and rotate it to rotate the entire housing.
6. Index Line
This is a thin line that points in the same direction as the direction of travel line. It doesn’t spin, however it’s in or close the spinning compartment.
7. Magnetic Needle (arrow)
Magnetic North seeking arrow is magnetized piece of metal that has one end painted red to indicate North. This is the main arrow you’re all familiar with. It sits on a fine point that is nearly frictionless so it rotates freely when the compass is held fairly level and steady. The tip is usually red, which teachers often use in the memorable "red in the shed".
8. Orienting Lines
Built into the face of the compass so that it points to 360 degrees on the rotating bezel ring. The orienting arrow and lines will point wherever you rotate the bezel. The space inside the arrow is the "shed".
9. Rotating Housing
The rotating ring around the Magnetic North seeking arrow with the degree numbers from 0 to 360.
10. Base Plate
Base Plate is hard, flat surface on which the rest of the compass is mounted. It has a rulers on its edges for measuring distances on maps.

Parts Of A Compass
1. There are rulers that can be used along with map scale to help calculate distance.
2. A direction of travel arrow reminds which direction to point the compass when taking a bearing.
3. The big arrow called the orienting arrow which we’ll use to help orient the bezel.
4. Some compasses have a handy declination scale which makes it easier to adjust declination.
5. The big circle dial with degrees is the rotating bezel which is marked with degrees from N clockwise up to 360.
6. There is a little marker called the index line which marks where bearings can be read.
7. Inside the bezel, the first thing can be noticed is the magnetized needle which always points to the magnetic north pole, not the true North Pole.
8. Alongside the orienting arrow our orienting lines that can be used to help line up the compass with north on a map.
9. A liquid capsule that contains the magnetic needle is rotating housing. The liquid helps dampen the needle movement, making it easier to get a more accurate reading.
10. The base plate is clear so the map below it can be seen, and there’s always at least one straight edge that can be used later for taking bearings.

How To Become A Gray Man in Urban Survival

Knowing how to be a grayman is probably the best urban survival skill that anybody can learn. No fancy equipment, no fancy gadgets, just good old fashion common sense integrated with instinct and innovation.
Find out how you can be invisible in a sea of a million people.
Being a grayman means moving amongst the crowd undetected. This is an essential skill in a survival situation and a real survivalist have to be always prepared when such event rises.

Gray Man Skills

This survival tactic is a form of urban camouflage referred to as “grayman”, and in the middle of an urban crisis or martial law, it ought to be the only thing that keeps you from having a target painted on your back and a bullet in your brain. Being a grayman and having the ability to seamlessly slip in and out of situations unnoticed is an art form mastered by few.
Do it wrong and you’re dead. Do it proper and you’re home free.

What Is a Gray Man?

A gray man is anyone who blends in where they go. It is a person who does now not stand out.
How is this accomplished? It seems easy enough – just blend in. But there is quite an art form to this.

Size

Height is an aspect of being a grayman that we have little control over.
The best grayman is ordinary in every respect. He’s of average height and weight.

For Men

Long shorts, monochromatic colors or horizontally striped clothing, flat shoes, leaving a longer shirt un-tucked, and slouching should all help you to appear shorter. The slouch will also help make you appear as less of a threat by making you seem unhealthy.

For Women

Try wearing capri pants, or pants with cuffs in them. Wear flats instead of heels that cover the tops of your feet.
Carrying a big bag will also help you appear smaller.

Dress

Natural or neutral colors work best - browns and grays. Highly colourful and graphic shirts have to be averted at all costs. Neither that shows off a lot of skin and nor too fashionable.

Gray or Grey man?

What is a Gray Man?

The name itself inspires a sense of mystery and conspiracy. When you hear it for the first time, you will immediately find yourself asking: "What is a gray man?"

About the first thing first. Before defining it, let’s spell it correctly. The spelling is with an “A”. Not an “E” in “Gray Man”.

Survival Tarp Shelters: Why A Tarp is one of the Best Things you Can Carry

Robert Richardson
Survival Tarp Shelters: Why A Tarp is one of the Best Things you Can Carry

Why a Tarp is a Better Shelter Choice.

  1. While hiking and camping in the backcountry, Tarp Tents allow you to feel even closest to nature. “There’s nothing like sleeping under a trap out in the wilderness; that is because we go out there,” said I.
  2. In most cases, a tarp goes to be lighter than any tent on the market. change to the canvass allowed me to chop down on my pack weight.
  3. It’s a dual purpose system. Unlike a tent, I can get more than one use out of the tarp. Besides the apparent shelter related uses, I can use the tarp as a raincoat; as part of a rain catchment system; as an improvised first-aid sling or bandage wrap; to make repairs on my clothing, backpacks, and other equipment that may become damaged; or a hundred other uses that a tent just wasn’t able to handle.

But the main reasons I went with the tarp were they can be easily set up and broken down, and how many different configurations I could get out of one.

Building various Types of Tarp Shelter

With little more than a bit of paracord and a tarp, you can quickly set up an improvised shelter to keep you warm and dry.

10 Different Tarp Setups

10 Different Tarp Setups

#1
The most popular and usual and easiest setup that allows to make a hammock or tent within.
Step 1. Find a desirable spot and make sure the trees and bushes for the setup are distanced in an perfect way for accommodating the tent/hammock and tarp.
Step 2. First fix up the tent/hammock and make sure a) Guylines and carabiners are properly fastened b) Hammock is placing at the perfect height.
Step 3. Set up the tarp 4" (10cm) above the tent/hammock and make sure at least all four corners of the tarp are staked to the ground, to hold its shape and provide good wind and rain protection.

#2
Similar to setup #1, however a simple shelter with or without a tent, that works in not only forests but bush-camping and on plains as well.
Setup A. Find two trees and setup up the tarp with guylines and staked corners, either with appropriate tent pegs or wooden stakes, for good rain and wind protection.
Setup B. Not appropriate for rainy and/or windy weather conditions. Use two alpenstocks or wooden stakes 3.9-4.9ft (1.2-1.5m) as an alternative of trees. Same setup as above.

#3
A temporary refuge that is close to same to #2 however gives more light.

#4
This setup and #5 and #6 are similar and appropriate for forest environments and autumn/winter seasons when there are fewer insects on the ground. This setup is ideal for sitting on the tarp floor with a campfire in the front of you for warmth.
Step 1. Divide your tarp into three portions and use guylines to fix up the "roof". Make certain the "wall" is leeward, contrary the wind.
Step 2. Peg or spread out the bottom section on the ground, so that the tarp forms a C-shaped shelter.

#5
This setup and #6 are the same however the former is fixed to the ground with stakes and the the latter is with tent pegs. It is a very simple temporary refuge for the wind or sun and is NOT recommended for when you camp overnight.
Step 1. Spread out your tarp and fix the top two corners with guylines to two trees.
Step 2. Tilt the tarp at a 45° and fix the last two corners on the ground with wooden stakes.

#6
This setup and #5 are the same but the former is fixed to the ground with tent pegs and the the latter is with stakes. It is a very simple temporary refuge for the sun or wind and is NOT recommended for when you camp overnight.
Step 1. Spread out your tarp and fix the top two corners with guylines to two trees.
Step 2. Tilt the tarp at a 45° and fix the last two corners on the ground with tent pegs.

#7
This setup and #8 and #9 are comparable in technique however serve different purposes. The easiest of the three using tent pegs or stakes for pinning the tarp to the ground. It's a temporarily refuge for one night time max; take care to construct the walls on the lee side for good wind and rain shelter.

#8
This setup and #7 and #9 are comparable in technique however takes the longest to complete. It is appropriate for winter and colder weather conditions, such as snowy environments, and is best for lengthier stays.

#9
An advanced version of #8, the use of your own tent poles or sturdy branches onsite. This setup gives the best wind protection.

#10
The pyramid setup that is pretty popular amongst outdoorsmen and women. Setup methods vary however the most common is through using a long hiking cane to form the tip of the structure whilst pinning the corners to the ground. Opt for a slanted doorway pulling the flapped entrance to the contrary direction (see picture) with guylines.

Review:
1. Covering strap is too short, when two smartphones are put into the holster, the lock is difficult to fasten.
2. The upper part may not hold on to the Velcro and will slide out at an angle. Velcro is not a good solution.
3. But, summing up, the quality is excellent!

The Right Kind of Crazy: My Life as a Navy SEAL, Covert Operative, and Boy Scout from Hell. Clint Emerson

The Right Kind of Crazy: My Life as a Navy SEAL, Covert Operative, and Boy Scout from Hell. Clint Emerson
Clint Emerson, retired Navy SEAL and author of the bestselling 100 Deadly Skills, presents an explosive, darkly funny, and often twisted account of being part of an elite team of operatives whose mission was to keep America safe by whatever means necessary. Clint Emerson is the only SEAL ever inducted into the International Spy Museum. Operating from the shadows, with an instinct for running towards trouble, his unique skill set made him the perfect hybrid operator. Emerson spent his career on the bleeding edge of intelligence and operations, often specializing in missions that took advantage of subterfuge, improvisation, the best in recon and surveillance tech to combat the changing global battlefield. MacGyvering everyday objects into working spyware was routine, and fellow SEALs referred to his activities simply as "special shit." His parameters were: find, fix, and finish-and of course, leave no trace. The Right Kind of Crazy is unlike any military memoir you've ever read because Emerson is upfront about the fact that what makes you a great soldier and sometimes hero doesn't always make you the best guy-but it does make for damn good stories.

100 Deadly Skills. Combat edition

100 Deadly Skills: A Navy SEAL's Guide to Crushing Your Enemy, Fighting for Your Life, and Embracing Your Inner Badass. Combat edition. Clint Emerson
Clint Emerson on the series: “The first volume in the 100 Deadly Skills series delivered clandestine hacks designed to allow readers to escape and evade threats at home and abroad. The second book, my Survival Edition, provided a blueprint to surviving chaos, misadventures, and fatal disasters. Now, with the COMBAT EDITION, I’ve created the most comprehensive on-the-ground combatives manual ever assembled—traveling the country to learn the most effective combat techniques from some of the deadliest characters on Earth. The goal remains the same: allowing good people to defeat evil, fight for their lives, and survive another day.” In putting together the COMBAT EDITION, Clint Emerson harvested from the skills of a diverse group of 16 top subject matter experts, ranging from the world of special operations to badass pro fighters, martial artists and outlaw bikers. They include, in chapter order, Tony Blauer, Tony Jeffries, Marcus Torgerson, Stephen K.
