BEST! Watchband Compass???

[@frugalmum7943]

I'm a fairly new prepper. On a tight budget. Thank you for this video, it looks like I've found a solid compass to invest in, within my budget. I love your channel, it's down to earth, straight forward and serious prepping advice.

[@Quantum3ntity]

Why are they all pointing in different directions

[@markportwood2223]

Just ordered the suunto clip on after watching this. I got a job as a land surveyor 6 months ago and I want something to make life a little easier for finding my bearing real quick or running the gps units. Thanks for a good review and I can’t wait to test it out I had no idea what to look for until I saw this.

[@roostertrucker]

Tru Nord button/backpacker compass USA made. Now there's a compass. Titanium model gives me chills.

[@USMC-es4yy]

That wc-10 is great..also if you have had that Suunto clip for 17 yrs then you got one when they made em good..the new ones last about a week!

[@dmcgreg]

I wish Suunto made a non-clip version, that fits a 22mm band.

[@BOOSTEDLASER]

How about this brass one made of stainless...brass in 2020 ??

[@Moostery]

Did you just casually tell us to go buy a $2,155.00 watch? Christ. I guess if you have the money to spend go for it but that's more spending money than I see in a few years!

[@sable428]

I'm not quite sure why you're complaining. It's not like he's not holding a gun to your head, telling you to buy the watch.

[@Moostery]

LilAwful712 that's not how glory holes work though. Free use my man.

[@sable428]

And you would know.

[@MisterCee41510]

More then you'll see in a few years? WTF do you do for a living?

[@bonerici]

black scout resco watch is a really nice watch. You see people all the time flossing with their tag heuer watches the omega speedmaster rolex watches, if you got the money to buy an expansive watch then it's refreshing to see someone choose a black scout resco instead. Absolutely understated nobody would mistake it for a $2,000 watch unless you know the brand. As for me I am more of a casio watch kind of guy.

[@preparedmind101]

Ooo! "Best" and question marks in the title! Must watch so I can argue!! Lol

[@bossybill7437]

There is space for a review of keyring compasses. Decent ones are even harder to find than button compasses. They make an excellent, yet rarely mentioned, EDC tool.

[@BlackScoutSurvival]

+Geoff Lee suunto has one that was amazing but like most awesome things they stopped making it.

[@bossybill7437]

Brunton does as well but Amazon reviews indicate QA problems. Gerber / BG also but theirs looks to be a cheapie plugged into a plastic holder. Numerous others but greater than 1" diameter.

[@BOOSTEDLASER]

@@BlackScoutSurvival Like this better or Suunto clip? Or another? Semper Fi Gunny

[@BOOSTEDLASER]

@@BlackScoutSurvival Wonder why silly brass and not stainless

[@larryfromwisconsin9970]

August 2021. Cammenga does not make that compass anymore. They have other options but no wrist compass with numeral degrees. Only Suunto has that In a button compass so look no more.

[@TheTranq]

Hey Jack I️ remember that survival kit pouch from your SERE kit a while back. Is that pouch something that’s available from anyone today?

[@xusmico187]

wc10. have one. well made great idea but too thick need to be more slim lined. hangs up on everything. tru nord makes the best pocket/kit compass

[@survivalofthefittest409]

Suunto clipper all the way. Petzl for headlights, Suunto for compass's.

[@DropForgedSurvival]

Nice watch but $2,155? Holy Mother of... LOL I need that BlackScout Money! HAHA

[@GeckoCkCkCk]

Could buy 30 to 40 Vostok Amphibia watches from Russia for that amount!

[@paganphil100]

If your watch is made of any magnetic metal it will affect the compass (some metals are not magnetic).

[@rustyshackleford17]

Ironically enough, people put a compass next to their automatic watch to see if it's magnetized.

[@JohnHoranzy]

Thanks for reviewing the Suunto M-9. I am shopping for a small compass for flying my paramotor.

[@cj_m2477]

Do you ever carry a lensatic compass like the Cammenga H3. I took an Orienteering course and the instructor told me it wasn’t good for land navigation which made no sense to me.

[@benellis9866]

Please tell me how your Suunto has made it this long. I bought one from REI and after about two hours of playing with the bezel, half of it would freely spin. No positive clicks. Really bummed and want to give it a second shot. It'd be great if they made a beefier version. But the biggest thing is how much my stainless steel Swiss Army watch affects it. How do people wear these on watch bands?

[@hellsscoutact5379]

Thanks for the video. I'm looking at getting 6 button compass's for my family members. I would like to get the Cammenga but cost to much. Suunto all the way. Great INFO.

[@rnranger1132]

Tru-nord compasses are American made button compasses.

[@hoosierarcher]

I have one of the Wazoo Survival Gear clam shell compasses. It's just a basic compass but the inside of the lid illuminates at a surprizing level from 30 seconds of flashlight beam. It also has a reflective panel on the underside for signaling. I think it was $20. I am seriously considering getting ine of the Suunto clip ons. I put it on my Amazon wish list. I like that I could slide that on to a hatband or the bill of a ball cap.

[@grimreaper6557]

great vid thanks for showing the compasses

[@domkabala]

I love my WC10 and my Model 27 Lensatic non-liquid compasses

[@jamesondrose]

I really like the Prometheus design werx compass. I like the suunto too, but I've had the directional ring fall off and have the compass fall out. I just throw the suunto on a pack now since it sees less daily wear and use the PDW on my watch band.

[@brentneves3602]

I was on the verge of buying a genuine Sunnto button watch compass on Amazon for $28.00 Cad, but then I read the multiple reviews of how many people loss the compass, while leaving the clip housing still in place, apparently the epoxy thet keeps the compass fastened to the holder lets go around the six month mark. What are your views on this? This is bad news for me as I would be using this compass in very cold weather, I do a lot of remote frozen lake, exploratory ice fishing with my snowmobile, miles away from any help, and wanted a quality back up compass..... If only quality manufacturers like Sunnto and other survival gear companies could stop making their products in China, that would be nice, quality control there is a joke, even if the company is ISO certified.

[@indianacitizen]

Even the cheap ones work decently for general orientation. Just pop the button off and shoe goo it back on. It holds like a charm

[@thomasmorrison8011]

Let's not overlook Tru-Nord for US made compasses

[@1701spacecadet]

Which is the accurate one? Every one of them was pointing in a different direction!

[@BlackScoutSurvival]

Magnets when placed together try to move into separate directions.

[@klownmittenz8715]

Good review. Too bulky and slide for my taste. Isn't Marbles compasses made here in America? Thanks.

[@burstfireno1617]

Hmm all the compasses aligned up there seems to be confused abit :) which one is showing right?

[@BlackScoutSurvival]

Is this serious question or are you pulling out leg

[@burstfireno1617]

BlackScoutSurvival :)

[@GeckoCkCkCk]

They pointing different directions. Which one actually points Magnetic north???

[@paganphil100]

GeckoCkCkCk: That's because they're too close and they're interfering with each other.

[@chef_nick3022]

Do they have the cammanda in black

[@KingHippoMac]

Where and how we can get our hands on your blackscout tin?

[@onefive151515]

That brass compass is more expensive than the watch! Can buy a gshock already

[@bossybill7437]

Great review (y). Button compasses are under-rated and good ones are hard to find. And you're right to carry at least two. Sometimes they flip direction and you need another to verify. Maybe you should carry three?

[@COYG1886]

Geoff Lee CountyComm has a few. No issues with them so far.

[@bossybill7437]

No worries. I'm not sure how the poles flip but 'they' say not to store your compass near any other strong magnets, like speakers. Another thing to watch out for, when reading a compass, are strong 'magnetic anomalies'. Typically magnetite or similar high iron concentration, mineralized patches and areas of ground. The effect is similar to standing too close to a vehicle. If uncertain, move a few 10s of meters away or until the ground/soil type changes. And... if sighting, when holding the compass up close to your face, watch out for your spectacles. Often these effects are minimal but it is always best to verify any reading against the sun, landmarks, your instincts, etc. Here in Australia, I've experienced compass readings 15-20 degrees off due to ground mineralization.

[@sosteve9113]

agreed,a good one is hard to find but a button compass can be use full

[@thethinker5284]

I think after watching this that each of these compasses have their pros and cons the main thing is that as long as they work it doesn't; matter how much they cost it's what your comfortable paying, like the watch very much if I bought one I would be heading for the divorce court.

[@MrApplesaucestuff]

every compass. on the table shows different north.

[@Zen-cc6ij]

Bro, why do you always sound like you just took a massive hit off of your bong!?!

[@BlackScoutSurvival]

I’m from the country you girly boy. That’s how men talk.

[@Zen-cc6ij]

Does “from the south” mean you have to sound like you’re stoned? I grew up down south and my family are all southern but we don’t sound high. As to your slur of calling a girly boy all I can say is that your lack of good manners is preceded only by your dim wit. It’s always easy to insult someone you’re not standing toe-to-toe with. My comment was meant purely as a joke directed to the videographer, not to you. I enjoy this KZbin channel tremendously and a little levity isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

[@BlackScoutSurvival]

Just messing around. Don’t cry man

New wedding band Jack? I tend to look at all details of everything wether it’s real life or a video looks different than your usual gold band.....

[@BlackScoutSurvival]

+Brendan MacKinnon yes. It’s an enso ring. It’s a rubber version that looks like copper. It’s almost weightless and great for weightlifting.

[@nikgeos]

nice watch !!!

[@sinosparo]

They discontinued them

[@JavierBonillaC]

The sunto will hurt your wrist.... it is too wide for the side of your wrist where it is where it will rest.

[@sgbradley]

And they all point in a different direction too for only $2k

[@imsoberwilson6487]

I dig the content but dude...you have to get something with auto focus

[@BlackScoutSurvival]

+tom hildebrand auto focus is for amateurs bro.

[@MujoNovak]

what the hell does compass help in 2017 in urban area?

[@NoHomo1776]

When your shitty smart phone runs out of battery charge, and you're not in an urban area.

[@kvnrthr1589]

Smartphone compasses are terrible. They can be 90 or even 180 degrees off in my experience. If you're trying to navigate an unfamiliar area you'd want to know where you're going

[@rjacobherman]

They are also non magnetic

[@vaughnburrows]

Jacob Herman Will there be a version that lights up at night?

[@rjacobherman]

Well have you ever seen a magnet not stick to metal

[@vaughnburrows]

Jacob Herman You answered one question but not the next?

[@rjacobherman]

Vaughnburrows I'm on a plane. We have a tritium wrist compass that the gov issues

[@BlackScoutSurvival]

+vaughnburrows the have a tritium variant used by the government/military. Link in description

[@carls.6746]

durability, oh yea... usability...... nope. needs a rotatable dial and a non rotatable arrow/mark like the clipper. seriously, if only it had that. as it is with practically no markings/dial/arrow means other than the 4 cardinal directions its almost useless. then why will i get it? bc its better than nothing and extremely durable.
