Nate presented the class very well. He is personable and easy to talk to. The class was well thought out with the presentation and the field exercises. I would recommend this class to any one from no experience to people with experience looking for a refresher class.
Nate was a pleasure to work with and an awesome instructor, the course was easy to learn and understand the basics of land nav including basic map knowledge, basic compass function and how to use one, how to plot out a route using that knowledge to get yourself to multiple points within a practical terrain setting.
