Hei der. Takk for at du ser og kommenterer nok en gang. Kompass er kanskje ikke "sexy", men de er avgjørende for å vite at de fungerer som de skal. Hold deg trygg. ATB. Nigel
I've acquired my Breithaupt Kompass-I was Issued one during my military time- called CONAT. Baught it decades later ;-) It never occurred to me to doubt it ;-) I bought a cheap one to keep on my wrist. Cheap and good enough to go in the same direction. A big compass test is outstanding, should do that, that s true.
Hallo. Vielen Dank fürs Zuschauen und Kommentieren. Es ist immer gut, wenn man auf die altbewährte Ausrüstung zurückgreifen kann. Healt, Ihren „neuen“ Kompass zu verwenden. Bleib gesund. LG. Nigel
Brilliant video Nigel. Thank you! I disagree with the start of this video! I have got lost in our backyard twice and once elsewhere on a dog walk. Both areas I know very well. The sun disappeared behind dense clouds and we had stumbled off trail. In all three cases any compass at all would have got us back fast instead of the stumbling around for an extra hour. I always carry a decent compass now on ALL hikes including urban ones. The can show short cut directions on return journeys!
OK Cat I'll go with that one especially in difficult terrain. Anyway glad you found your way back and you learned from the mistake so continue to stay safe over there. ATB. Nigel
Top notch Nigel ! My android phone compass is also lacking in accuracy. I'll keep trusting my Cammenga & my analog wrist watch (for cardinal directions). Will be watching for your next mate. ATB !
Ciao. Grazie per aver guardato e commentato ancora una volta. Le bussole potrebbero non essere "sexy" ma sono essenziali. Bisogna sapere che funzionano correttamente. È un vero peccato che le versioni con telefono non lo facciano. Rimani al sicuro. ATB
I never put my money on the mobile phone compass,I noticed this in the beginning of those compass apps. Download a couple of them,and they gave all a different northern direction,but it can gives you a general direction. Atb Steve
Hi Steve. Thank you for watching and commenting once again. I was really glad to have the app but soon grew suspicious and now I use it just to see how inaccurate it is. Stay safe. ATBN. Nigel
I recently purchased some compasses that you can put on your wrist watch. Out of the 10 in the set six all agreed on North the other four were reversed. Do you know of anyway to reverse the ones that are reverse now? Really enjoyed your video like all of them they’re worthwhile and helpful and thought invoking
Hi Phillip. Now that is a tricky one! To be honest I just do not know the answer. If the needles constantly point 180 degrees in the wrong direction i.e. points south when they ought to point north then prhaps mark the cases so you know they are wrong facing compasses and use them If they are just erratic then I would take the pain and ditch or destroy them no one could use any of them to get lost. You could however gift them to your worst enemy but that is more than a little on the evil side. Hope this helps. Thank you for continuing to watch and comment. Stay safe. ATB. Nigel
