  1. Dead Reckoning. Dead reckoning (DR) is as old as navigation itself. Highly logical and ridiculously simple, the idea behind it is this: "If I go in this direction for this distance, I must be right here."

    I use dead-reckoning to: 1. Predict ETA at future landmarks, like water sources, trail junctions and campsites; 2. Approximate my current location relative to the last or next landmark; and, 3. Rule out “false” features like false summits and unmarked trail junctions. In general, regular dead-reckoning helps to to “stay found” because it sets expec...

    To dead-reckon, two out of threefollowing items are needed: 1. Distance between two landmarks, derived from a topographic map, databook, or guidebook; 2. Rate of travel, which can be measured (e.g. with a GPS unit) or calculated on past trips; or, 3. Time, using a simple watch (although if you want to get serious about backpacking, I recommend a GP...

    You might recall this formula from high school physics: Distance = Rate * Time, whereby: 1. Distance = miles or kilometers 2. Rate = MPH or KPH 3. Time = Hours The main formula can be reconfigured to solve for other variables: 1. Rate = Distance / Time 2. Time = Distance / Rate To dead-reckon, essentially you insert two known variables to determine...

    1. I’ve been been walking non-stop for 1:20 minutes from my last known landmark, Crystal Spring. On this kind of rolling terrain, I generally walk at around 3 MPH. I’m planning to camp at Buchanan Creek, which is 5.5 miles from Crystal Spring, per my guidebook. How much further until camp? Using the formula Distance = Rate * Time, I calculate that ...

    • Love and Thunder. (2003) This is Andrew Peterson’s first great album. It begins with the light touch of the piano while Andrew sings the role of Abraham on the night before he and Sarah set off toward the land God would show them.
    • Behold The Lamb of God. (2004) How to describe Andrew Peterson’s masterpiece? It’s not accurate to say this is only a Christmas album (since the first half tells the story of the Old Testament).
    • The Far Country. (2005) Like Love and Thunder, this album begins with Abraham. Father Abraham. Do you remember when. You were called to a land and you didn’t know the way?

    Dead reckoning helps in determining sunrise and sunset; in predicting landfall, sighting lights and predicting arrival times; and in evaluating the accuracy of electronic positioning information. It also helps in predicting which celestial bodies will be available for future observation. But its most important use is in
