Waterproof Compass Outdoor Gadget Navigation Hiking Compass Camping Orienteering Backpacking Map Reading Compass for Scout Kids

A phone gets you most of the way on a marked trail, then loses signal exactly when a track forks and you need it most. This compass doesn't care about signal. A liquid-filled pointer settles fast and holds steady even with a shaky hand, and the printed scale on the base lets you take a bearing off a paper map the old-fashioned way, without a battery to go flat halfway through the walk.

It's small enough to disappear into a jacket pocket or hang from a pack strap on its own cord, and the sealed, waterproof housing means a sudden downpour or a dunk in a creek doesn't put it out of action. The dial is easy to read at a glance, so you can check direction without stopping to squint.

Why You'll Love It

• No battery required. Works exactly the same on day one and day one hundred, with nothing to charge or replace.
• Waterproof housing. Sealed against rain, splashes and the odd creek crossing.
• Fast, stable pointer. Settles quickly and holds its heading even when you're moving.
• Printed scale for map reading. Line it up with a paper map to take a proper bearing, not just a rough direction.
• Hanging cord included. Clips to a pack, belt loop or jacket zip so it's on hand rather than buried in a bag.
• Pocket-sized. Light enough that carrying it is never a reason to leave it behind.

How to Use It

1. Hold the compass flat and level in your palm, away from metal objects and phones.
2. Let the pointer settle before reading the direction it points to.
3. Line the compass edge up with your route on a paper map to take a bearing.
4. Clip the cord to a pack strap or belt loop for quick access on the move.

Great For

Hikers, campers and scouts who want a backup that doesn't rely on a charged phone, and parents kitting out a kid's first bushwalking pack. It's cheap insurance for the day the signal drops and the track isn't signed.
