Our Club Meeting for July is going to be a good one for all you survival purest out there.  We are going to take our last two meetings and take Land navigation to the extreme by learning to navigate without a map and compass.  That's right folks we are going to run a land nave course without a map and compass.  we will teach you how to use the watch method, shadow tip method, the sun, moon, stares, snow and even ant hills that's right I said Ant Hills.  Meet at the parking lot at the top of the park. Dinner should be something that you can eat on the go without cooking. Bring you own water.

June Club Meeting the 28th

  
We had a great turnout yesterday for the club meeting. In fact we had so much to do that we could not get it all done. So next month we are going to finish up our map reading, and learn how to plot our position on a map, and then how to plot an 8-digit grid coordinate, and then how to use the terrain to help us get there the fastest.

Our next club meeting will be on the 28th of June from 1800 to 2100 at Glen Canyon Park. The focus will be orienteering. Remember to bring your foil dinner, your knife, a water bottle, good hiking shoes, your folder with your map (if you got one at last night's meeting), a mechanical pencil, a light jacket, and a friend.

I also updated our website to include an Orienteering section in the store. You can find the protractors there along with some really good compasses. the website is www.wildjakes.com or you can go to Ranger Joe's and look for them there.
 

 

 

May 24 Club Meeting

Wild Jake's Club Meeting for May will be on the 24 at Canyon Glen Park in Provo Canyon from 1800 - 2100. Bring your foil dinner and a friend.  We now have 62 members lets see if we can all be there.

The topic for this month will be Land Navigation, with a map and compass. We will have three stations 1) Pace count with a game to learn how to follow a compass heading and reinforce your pace count.  2) You will learn how to make Ranger beads and how to use them. (please bring $5 to help with materials i.e. 550 cord, lighters, paper and ink for maps. pencils, and protractors).  3) And  finally a real live man hunt.  We plan to split up into 3 groups and then into smaller units to rotate through the stations spending an hour at each one. While at station two you will be able to cook and eat your dinner.
