Can anyone tell me how you measure swash and backwash with a compass?
This is for my geography homework and i need to include key terms like housing, bearing and set??????????
-- Sorry I did not find what I wanted.Prismatic compass and Brunton compass are used .I put here the few informations I found . Swash (uprush and backwash), in geography, is the water that washes up on shore after an incoming wave has broken. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swash Bearing .A system that measures in reference to the cardinal points of a compass in 90 degree quadrants. ------------------------ Beach configuration was measured using a prismatic compass. Wave period, swash, and backwash velocity were determined with the aid of a stop watch while a prismatic compass was used to measure the direction of wave. http://www.google.ca/search?hl=en&source=hp&q=swash+and+backwash+a+compass&btnG=Google+Search&meta=&aq=f&oq= ENERGY MEASUREMENTS IN THE SWASH-SURF ZONE1 http://new.aslo.org/lo/toc/vol_10/issue_2/0255.pdf ------------ Using a compass, measure the direction of the swash and backwash, by watching the

Brunton compass http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brunton_compass The prismatic compass, due to its luminescent qualities, makes the device ideal for use in any environment where visibility is somewhat limited. When navigating through an underground system such as a cave, a prismatic compass will provide a reliable means of reading direction, helping to prevent the explorer from becoming lost. Applications within the professions that depend on surveying land and other property also often make use of the prismatic compass. http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-a-prismatic-compass.htm

How to Find Bear
How to Find Bear
Hi welcome to The Hunting Channel online's Tip Of the week!
This week our tip come from our ask the pros section of The Hunting Channel Online.
Member Brad Collins asks
We are not allowed to hunt bear over bait in my home state. What would you suggest?
Well Brad It really depends on the type of country you are hunting, Big Timber?, Juniper?, Open Country?
A couple of ways would be:
Sit on natural food crops that you see alot of bear sign in.
Sit a water hole that shows sign. get a trail cam up early in season so you can pattern him.
Calling can be effective too, I have called in bear with a fawn in distress call and even a jackrabbit call, i call 1min then off 2min for an hour or so. this can be fun becuase you can have some other action as well with other predators that may be in season.
Glassing open country, or open areas on hillsides or juniper is very effective in known bear habitat. This my preferred tactic
Also read your regs really closely you may not be able to hunt over bait, but you still may be able to a bait an area put up trail cams to get an idea of what's in the area. Also again make sure its legal but every time you set out bait set off a bear bomb, a bear will begin to associate the bear bomb with food so when it time to hunt you can just set off a bomb and no food.
