A compass you can hide.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eTwo evasion compasses: an \u003cstrong\u003eaperture\u003c\/strong\u003e (ring) compass you peep through, and a \u003cstrong\u003ebar\u003c\/strong\u003e compass you float, suspend, or tap on a card. Rare-earth. Two poles. High strength-to-weight. Small enough to sew into clothing or disguise as something else.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eAll compasses are magnets. Not all magnets are compasses. A sewing needle in a puddle, a fridge magnet, or a disk magnet will not hold an azimuth. These will.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAperture compass\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTie about 1 ft of line through the hole. Dental floss is better than thread; parallel fibers, not much twist. Hold it at arm’s length and sight through the taper like a peep sight: equal shadow on both sides. Taper = south. Flat = north; verify your compass with Polaris or the Sun at LAN. Let it settle in a breeze. Pick a distant object in the window. That is north. From the side you can take east or west; it is harder without the aperture, and the piece is harder to hide. It may tip slightly down. That is magnetic dip, not a defect.....depends on how far you are from the magnetic pole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBar compass\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePoles at the ends. Float it, hang it, or set it on a smooth non-metal surface (business card, plastic, glass). Hold the card level, tap lightly. The bar lines up north–south. Sight down the side to a terrain feature, or use it on a map. You can paint the north end red or luminescent. Easy to conceal. Easy to lose. North and south only.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAzimuth, not just “north”\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith practice, magnetic north to about 1–2°. At arm’s length, one index-finger width is about 1°. Train that on a known compass before you need it. Find north, then count fingers to the azimuth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNot this\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot a lensatic. Not a certified nav instrument. Not a toy. Strong rare-earth magnets: keep away from phones, cards, pacemakers, and small children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eComes with a cardinal card and instructions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"auto\"\u003eComing soon.
