(You were supposed to send one guy to the edge of your vision and direct him on target then leapfrog and do it again to keep your azimuth straight, but I shot to the first tree that was dead on the azimuth and sent my partner too it, then moved up and did it again, and again till we cleared the woods. 24 teams of 2 people shooting and moving. You were given an azimuth and had to reach to correct post on the other side.
A 1/2 mile away through the woods was another series of posts labeled A, B, C, D etc. When I was at Ft Leonard Wood for Basic, the land nav course we did had a series of posts in the ground every 10 meters Labeled 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. I found my location by quickly gaining elevation so that I could make out ridge lines, just as dusk was turning to dark.
I thought I knew the area well enough that this couldn't happen. I was heading back to the vehicle to get something before dark. It was nearing dark and I was wearing shorts and had nothing with me. I suddenly couldn't tell if I was walking up stream or down stream, I totally lost direction of north south east or west. I was once in the bottom of a hollow in Arkansas about 800 feet elevation or so. I have been disoriented once and its a feeling I don't like to repeat.
In flat country or dense vegetation you have to be much more careful with pace count and azimuths. In country with any terrain whatsoever remember you can gain altitude and view the ridge lines to determine where you are. Though I have totally forgotten what mine was for 100 meters. A pace being every other step or one leg. Get to know your pace count for 100 yards and meters. some way points can have a container such as a coffee can with something different in it for each team to pick up. Oh there are games like races across land, where teams compete.
