For those who like to actually be involved in hiking and where they are going, this is a must. If you wish to rely on some electronic gadget to tell you where you need to go, you can wait until your batteries fail. Your choice.

Its a great compass, takes some training to use it fully. Having to learn how to use mils and how to properly hold it. Its tough as nails and easy to maintain. Only beef is it could have a declination adjustment so i don't have to figure in that change into everything i do. but the military doesn't want that so other then that i love it.

Read where we had to cancel maneuvers off S. Korea because the North Koreans were jamming and spoofing GPS. What you going to do when your GPS goes dead, even if it's just the batteries. Always have a plan "B".

Military Grade and reliability. Illumination inserts are extremely bright (you must charge them with a light source initially but will glow brightly for quite a while. Very impressed.

If you use topos or generally want a real compass this it. Well built and in the USA. One day a will get a GPS mostly for carrying the mapping info. But I'm strictly a map and compass person for now. I have to shoot some relatively complex routes through the N Georgia Wilderness area's always off trail.
