Survival Compasses

Simply put, a compass is a navigational instrument used to determine direction relative to the Earth's magnetic poles. It consists of a magnetized pointer that is free to align itself with Earth's magnetic field. This enables a person to navigate in unfamiliar surroundings.

To become a good wilderness navigator you must learn to always Trust Your Compass. Everyone in your party must carry a compass to ensure that if separated each member of the group can still navigate.

The following compasses have the the features that are most looked for in Wilderness / Survival compasses.
