Reviews of Cammenga Olive Drab Phosphorescent Lensatic Compass/Without Tritium

This is the real deal when it comes to compasses. Before operators were using GPS to get from point to point, the compass and map made precision approaches and exact coordinates accessible.

This is the same one I used in the field minus the Tridium (which admittedly makes a difference). However, if you have a small Red LED to see the lens, you just have to keep a steady hand.

Sighting this guy is easy, walking and keeping the pace count is always the challenge. Well, that and trusting your nav skills now that your iPhone isn't able to drop a point.

These compasses are required gear on any trip where I think I'm going to rely on a battery powered anything. Find a solid 1:50,000 scale map and you are in good hands. Oh, well that and you might want to visit your friends at REI to get an orienteering course.

Keep one of these with you.
