Makes me feel guilty, I have never used a compass in the woods. On a boat in the ocean yes, but never in the outdoors.
Obviously you have never wandered into the fall woods on the upper peninsula of Michigan.
Agreed. Even a compass can be useless there. I’ve wandered off a few times along the Peshekee Grade and in the Huron Mountains and have my compass rendered useless thanks to ore deposits. A little concerning to see the needle spin in circles and never settle.
