sight wire and likewise forms a line with it (Fig. 4, b).
Now you have your bearings!
3. How do I get to my destination?
Ask your parents for a hiking map that you can
draw on.
CAUTION: Only hike with an adult, never hike
alone.
On the map, draw a line between the point where
you are (your location) and the point where you
would like to go (your destination).
Then place the compass on this line so that the
sight wire (1) and the sight slot (4) match up, so
they point in the same direction.
Now turn the sight glass (2) on the rotating rim (3)
so that the somewhat longer yellow line points to
your destination and the sight wire and slot con-
tinue to form a line. The yellow line shows you the
number of degrees (7). You must hike in the direc-
tion the degrees indicate. During your hike, hold
your compass in a way that the number of degrees
always matches the yellow line and always walk in
that direction.
TIP: It's easier if you occasionally aim at and walk
toward particular points (e.g. church steeple, rock,
observation tower) that lie in your hiking path. To
do this, set the part of the compass with the sight
wire in a vertical position. Hold the compass so
that the yellow line matches the number of degrees
(7). Then you can aim for the point (Fig. 1) through
the sight slot (4) with the sight wire (1).
TIP: Go for a walk with your parents. You can de-
termine your hiking route together ahead of time.
4. Where am I?
Ask your parents for a hiking map that you can
draw on.
ACHTUNG: Only hike with an adult, never hike
alone.
