“This is my standard compass. Day in, day out, I use the Ranger Sighting compass for navigation and backcountry travel. It carries all the features I need to navigate, and the sighting mirror means I can take extremely accurate bearings over any distance. The mirror also doubles as a great signalling device for emergencies and a shaving mirror while camping.” JD, Howl Bushcraft
