I disagree with any opinion on not taking a classroom course.
Take a classsroom clurse learn the basics. Then do spme local orienteering to bring it all together.

I use to teach map and compass to men and women. We always started in a classroom. Went in depth as to how a map works, how your compass works.
How to do a resection. Tale bearingels etc.
It is easier on a table to learn these and other things. Then it is to wing it on your own. Unless your good at that thing.

I will look amd see if i have my old handouts and try and scan then post them.


Good luck with your new found hobby.
