Compass

[Rick]

That's it! Glycerine, thank you. Couldn't remember that this morning.

I have two Silva rangers and a couple of smaller Silva compasses that I have carried for years. I bought the first Siva Ranger in 1979 and it still works great. The only complaint I have that Silva has started making the housing out of plastic, the old ones were aluminum. The plastic may be OK, but aluminum just seems more sturdy.

I am glad to be reading this. I have always used and continue to use the Military issue compass. Why? because that is what they gave me And I seldom replace something if it ain't broke. So I have never given the thought that you guys have into the hows an whys. Thank you for sharing you experiences

I have several, the most expensive being a Silva Ranger that I bought after seeing Bob Newman use one on his video: "The Ultimate Outdoorsman." The next best is the Victorinox brand "dial" compass. I also have several "knock-off" lensatic compasses; I'd love to get one of the M2's, but can't afford it right now. Liked Mac's as well.

question:
. ive been giving myself lessons using a couple books that reference base-plate compasses with transparent cases. a lot of the instructions discuss using the transparent case to align the compass with map lines to orient the compass and yourself

some of you have mentioned using compases that dont have transparent cases

how does the military style compasses or other non transparent compasses compensate for not being able to align them with the map as easily as those with transparent baseplates and cases?

Hey Sarge, Bob Newman was an instructor with me at SERE. He also wrote several articles for the now defunct American Survival Guide magazine. Good people!
