Compasses are fine and all, but I want to know what UNIFORM looks best while using a compass!   >:D   Sorry, I couldn't resist.

Seriously, I have a Brunton Eclipse and Pingree1492 educated me about the air bubble(s) in mine.  The thing is usually accurate, but the air bubble does cause it to read as much as 20 degrees off once in a while.  No point in using it if I have to rely on a second compass for a confidence check.  This thread reminds me to buy a new compass.

I think the correct uniform to wear would be the PWHM uniform.
You could also wear so much gear if you drop the compass you would
fall over trying to pick it up and be crushed, or all the gear would change the reading on your compass.  I know I couldn't resist either :P ;)

I too, use a Silva Ranger. The thing just works.

Watch out.. when buying a compass at a store that generally doesn't sell that sort of thing. Even the sporting goods section of Wally World.. the day you have the cashier there that does not normally do that dept.

Oh, this is a $50 item.. it probably has the anti-theft tag in it..

.. scan.. and then over the deactivator pad .. ;-)

D'oh!
