Do you know how to use a compass?

[SNAFU]

Best link in this thread is The Compass Store. Not only great info on their site. But good quality compasses.
Been using a compass since knee high to a grasshopper. ,,back in '70.
3 other thing you should know,,sun rises in the east,sets in the west.
Where to locate the North star.
Pace count,pace count,pace count,,uphill,down hill,over flat terrain,and again at night,,you tend not to take full strides.
Really want to test skills? Fort Sherman triple canopy jungle.
Or the desert,,29 Palms. Then do them while night land naving.
For a "baseplate" compass I suggest the Sunnto M3G {Globale needle}
If you want a "sighting" compass try the Brunton Eclipse,has the added benifit of quick reference cards.
