Suunto MCB NH Mirror Compass

While the testing team has access to a plethora of GPS-based electronic options, there’s security in analog devices including navigation.  At only about $30, MCB NH musters sighting and magnetic declination adjustments normally found at well over $50; the “NH” version factors in northern hemisphere variables, while “SH” heads south of the equator.  Liquid filled but capable of floating, this Finnish-made model carries a lifetime warranty in tandem with a high-grade steel needle and jewel bearing.  The lanyard is a nice add while the whistle is more novelty than life-saver (unlike the compass which carries it).  Buy one for yourself.  Share it with the group.  Give one as a gift.  Learn how to manage when clouds and cliffs make the way unclear
