If your declination is 9 degrees west of true north, you must turn it 9 degrees **EAST** to compensate correctly.

Correct me if I am wrong but you seemed to have it turned 9 degrees East that way.

Should you not set your declination before you use your compass? That compass not able to set declination?

This video is incorrect. He turned his fixed declination compass bezel the wrong direction according to his westerly declination and what he was trying to do (going from map/TN to field/MN). A great way to remember the correct way to do it...the LARS method.

Couldn’t follow what you were saying. You actually point/touch the item you’re talking about. You run through the pieces of the compass quickly then expect us to remember them as you talk.
