CUSTOMER COMMENTS:

Eventually you're going to end up in a situation where your GPS is worthless. Whether the batteries die, or your in a canyon or heavy forest, or the satellites come crashing out of the sky, eventually you'll need an alternate tool for navigation. Time to bust out the old map and compass.

There's a reason the U.S. military chose this. This is one area where they didn't go with the lowest bidder. This is one of the most expensive compasses you can buy, and for good reason.

The case is heavy, the sighting wire is heavier duty than any other model available, and the liquid is freeze proof for continuous operations in colder temps.

The tritium means it will glow for a good ten years or more without being exposed to light. Perfect for night navigation.

Pair this with a good protractor, UTM grid and a topographic map and you should be able to find your way regardless of any other technology.

Critical for your survival, camping, and hiking kits.
