Do you know how to use a compass?

[StagLefty]

Stuart, if you are looking at compasses I really like Silva's. I used to use a Silva in the Army, because I hate lensatic compasses so much, but it is still good to know how to do both. I have the Silva Ranger, it runs about 40 bucks but worth it.

That would be my thoughts and what I like to do.

Just got through reading in another forum that the Silva quality is not what we used to buy. I have several older ones myself. The recommendations were Suunto or Cammenga.
