I could listen to you for two hours Dave. Don’t ever think that you’re not very interesting. The amount of knowledge you have is incredible. Your willingness to dispense it is a blessing to all of us. God bless you. John

No need to apologize for the length of this video. Like always another informative well done video. Thanks

The hardest and most Priceless Compass I've ever worked with was a moral one.

[DenverLoveless]

This video is great with my morning coffee. No apologies necessary. There is a new crop of learners every day.

Thank you Dave for explaining a few things about compasses. Much appreciated.

You're a legend David and definitely my favorite dual survivalist. You and Cody were the golden age of survival reality TV programs.

I was a land surveyor for years and own a very expensive transit compass. When mounted on a staff it provides reasonable accuracy, not as accurate as a real transit with a telescope but reasonable. These are all but useless for the average hunter, backpacker, orienteer. In the hands of someone who knows what he's doing a standard low priced Silva or Suunto compass is more than enough. I've many times walked a 10 mile course with 6 to 10 course changes and ended right back at the point where I started while using $15 baseplate style compass. As with most things outdoors results can't be bought they have to be earned, skill earned through practice is priceless!

I have been carrying that little Silva for years and is all i need for what I do.

[SurvivalOnPurpose]

As usual, I learned something new. Thanks as always Dave.

[mechasartre]

About time someone actually covered the nuances of compass choice! Never even seen the subject touched. I never leave for the trail without a compass and hard copy map.

My good friends bought me the Suunto MC-2 global over a decade ago and used it for many years. For some reason, I just started looking at videos about compasses today. I'm happy to see that Dave's preferred compass is mine.

Good Video. As a professional for over 40 years now semi-retired Archaeologist, I have used the Brunton Pocket transit to make field maps, I now have The Army Compass, which I play around with, but in the main I tended to use the Silva Ranger 2.0 models and Ranger 515 model rather than the Suunto.

[alancarter]

Always golden nuggets of truth brother. I am 59 years old and still have my Silva going back to a young teen, at that time it was my primary. I carry the MC2 and tritium lensatic currently, redunancy and quality are key.

[danieljohnathan]

big help, big heart, thank you from love you brother

[dibertos]

From the title, I would have guessed this was a sponsored video. Boy was I wrong! You've answered all the questions I was looking for some time ago. Very inormative Dave!

[forestgnome]

Thank you my astute and erudite friend! Compasses and compass use has long been a source of confusion to the layman. Thanks for your accurate and concise presentation! I has been my experience that most people either buy a cheap "toy" compass and expect to do wonders with it or they buy a vastly over complicated one and never learn to properly use it. Thanks again, regards and best, Pink

[danpost]

Sharing your knowledge of the different options and applications is much appreciated. Thanks Dave. Keep the great content coming!

[brandonneuman]

I own 2 compasses a M2 artillery compass, and a suunto MC-2. And man, I enjoy the MC-2 so much.

[crypto]

Great video. I was trained on a military compass, but the MC-2 is the best choice for most people, especially someone who is learning.

[danieljames]

Brought back images of my army days. Thanks for the video. Keep posting. Brilliant at explaining. Good instructor. Bye for WALES!
