Outdoors & Navigation
Outdoors, small miscalculations add up: a walking time that ignores ascent, a bearing without declination, a drone battery that runs out on the way back. These courses teach the planning maths step by step in a spreadsheet, with each result checked, so your plans rest on clear assumptions.
The 6 courses cover hike and trek planning, map and compass navigation, boat navigation with set and drift, drone flight planning, expedition food and fuel logistics, and mountain weather maths from lapse rates to wind chill. All examples are illustrative.
Outdoors & NavigationPlan a fictional three-day hut-to-hut trek: leg tables, walking times with a pace rule, a slope pace curve, daylight and turnaround times, water and food, pack weight, a stage split and a route card with an elevation profile, with every cell checked as you go.
Outdoors & NavigationMeasure, convert and correct everything a paper map gives you on a fictional orienteering map: scales and areas, grid references, bearings from coordinates, true, grid and magnetic north, slopes from contours, pace counting, error cones and a navigation log, with every cell checked as you go.
Outdoors & NavigationWork out passage times, course corrections for current, fuel reserves, anchor scope and clearances for a fictional coastal trip, with every cell checked as you go.
Outdoors & NavigationEstimate flight time, set a safe return reserve and plan a mapping grid with the right overlap and image resolution, with every cell checked as you go.
Outdoors & NavigationRation food, fuel and water for a fictional group expedition and share the load fairly between everyone's packs: person-days and calorie bands, lighter food swaps, stove fuel and canisters, treatment supplies from product labels, resupply carries, gear splits by body weight, contingency rations and a pack-weight dashboard, with every cell checked as you go.
Outdoors & NavigationRead the weather for a fictional mountain tour from your own numbers: summit temperatures from lapse rates, dew point with the Magnus formula, cloud base and freezing level, barometric altitude and altimeter drift, pressure trends, wind classes and wind chill, snow water and snowline, and a trip log with fictional planning flags, with every cell checked as you go.
No. They teach planning calculations. Navigation, boating and flying require practical training and, where required, official licences.
They mention that rules apply but do not teach any specific regulation. Check your aviation authority's current rules before flying.
Each course is a single purchase of $9.99. That covers every lesson and lab, the final exam and the certificate, with no subscription and nothing that renews.
