Has anyone taken a navigation class outside the military or boy scouts? I've been looking at this from from Treks & Tracks in Malibu. treksandtracks.com/tt2/product/40The other option is REI. |

Doesn't Christopher offer a class ? He includes edible plants and fire making in the same class. Less expensive as well: $34 vs $ $89. He offers a great deal for the price. With my oldest in college now, I look at cost factor a great deal more than before. I'll take it when Christopher schedules it on a Saturday again. |

Looked at both. Two good additional options. Just depends where you live and what you want kind of experience you want to have. Jim's camp out is in lady's backyard; Alan conducts his out of Irwindale Rec Area. They charge $10 a day for entry fee. What type of compass is that ?

That's a GI lensatic compass.
My reading of the event description is that the dinner is at the lady's home but the camp out is in the "wild".

Check Christopher's updated schedule. I told him TASC students were interested in orienteering and more primitive weapons classes.
Saturday, July 20, 10 a.m.
WILD FOOD OUTING and KNIFE/TOOL Lesson, $20. We’ll begin with a discussion of primitive knives (and related tools) and how to make them, and how to choose a good camp knife. Then we’ll explore the park in search of wild food, and make a salad. Location 2, Hahamongna Watershed Park; entrance at Foothill and Oak Grove Dr. in Pasadena. Meet at southern end of the upper area. [pg. 535, E5].
Saturday, July 27, 10 a.m.
ORIENTEERING CLASS. $25. Learn how to use a map and compass. We’ll cover the basics of orienteering, which includes how to read and use a map, how to use a compass, and other “natural” ways to plot directions. We’ll go on a short plant walk, and possibly do some primitive fire-making. Hahamongna Watershed Park. Location 2. Bring a compass.
