NACD Survey Workshop October 3-4, 2009 - UPDATE class is full

Raphael, I have been using a Silva compass that I believe came from WalMart. Some of the Silva compass's were larger and had things on them we would never use, so I bought the smaller one and mounted it on a slate with a bubble level. It works good and is marked every 2deg and very cheap. See ya there. Laid more line this past weekend

I ordered a small Silva from ebay earlier this week. Plan on mounting it on a slate. Good idea on the bubble level.

here's a real nice compass from REI. One-degree marks with a magnifier to read them!

Just bought a bulls eye level for the survey workshop from ACE. At 3.20 including tax, it may be the cheapest piece of cave dive gear I ever bought.

I keep promising that I'll get the stuff this week, then never do...

I need a compass, slate, bubble level and the measuring tape contraption as well....sheesh. And since this is all home made stuff, it's real hard to just go get a list of required components...

I ordered a new Silva Polaris 177 compass on Ebay. It looks like some of the ones mentioned in various survey books and websites. For 11.99 including shipping, it was the cheapest price for this model I could find without driving an hour. Do a search on Ebay for it, and the first listing should be the one

Have not gotten a tape yet - the NACD site did not say we needed one. I am not sure if we will be doing compass and distance work or just compass work.

Just received the compass today. I sure hope the water magnifies the lines. Otherwise, I will need mask inserts or a much bigger compass.

Tapes: There will be some tapes available at the workshop, but bring your own if you can. Recommend a fiberglass 100' open reel ( not one of those square fully enclosed tapes - they jam with mud) marked in feet and tenths. You can get them at Lowes or Home Depot pretty inexpensively. Also a compass, two degree increments, rotating bezel and wet notes or a slate to write on.

Is it ok if we share ? Dave P has this stuff and said I could share it with him.

Craig,

Are there any plans of offering another workshop again this year?
