This is exactly how I have always used my compass. It will bring you out every time. Good one Greg, thank you.

Hi Greg, I like your old school, no-nonsense style! I think too that using a compass forces you to be more aware of your surroundings in a real sense - you are constantly checking landmarks, looking about you, rather than staring at the screen and saying, "I'm there", meaning "there on the screen".

Exactly. Meant to mention that in the video. It really forces you to read the landscape and notice things.

I know nothing about compasses. What if you realized you were lost all the sudden. You don’t know what way you came in. Would a compass be useful?

You have to have a sense of which way is out - a general sense of orientation, like if you had studied a map or google earth before hand, or as I showed in the video - had taken a bearing on the way in. To go in the woods without taking a bearing at the start or studying a map before hand would be foolhardy. So if you know that South is "out" , for instance - then the compass helps you find South.

I gathered a collection of compasses over my 70 years of using them along with maps of areas of places I hunted, fished, hiked and camped. A GPS is the greatest modern navigation tool since the wheel. Google earth is another innovation to use that costs nothing to learn to use. Simple navigation works however, precision navigation is worth every penny spent once you try it. Think about shooting a 200-pound deer and dragging it in a general direction to your car. I assure you that experience will make a GPS more important than you can ever imagine. You cannot hunt efficiently looking at compass constantly and looking for deer or any wild game. 🤔😆😅

I wonder how people did it before the 2000s? I guess no one was hunting efficiently or effectively.

I like the Silva starter 1-2-3 . That's what I'm using in the video - I've had it for years. Suunto's are good too.

I enjoyed that. Thanks for getting out in the rain to show us. My Silva is similar to yours but it's somewhere around a 1982 model. Type 3
