I am looking for a high quality compass to purchase for a survival kit that I am putting together. Anyone have any suggestions. Obviously I would like a cost effective option but I would rather buy one compass that will last me a lifetime.

They work at night, you can use sighting type navigation and map scale. Fully adjustable for declination depending on your part of the country. I have also flashed many helo's with the mirror so it’s dual purpose.
