    Comments about Brunton 15TDCL Compass:

    I've been using this compass for compass and map
    route finding around my area in western Wyoming.
    I like to set it and then look only at the compass
    bearing,doing so without looking up at a landmark
    to guide me.I am pleasantly surprised at how close I can come to my destination using this compass. The declination setting feature is a very
    nice feature and one that I would not go without on a future compass purchase. This feature is well worth the extra cost. This is a reliable and accurate instrument.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

      Comments about Brunton 15TDCL Compass:

      I have used this compass for backcountry navigation and it has always gotten me where I wanted to go. The flip mirror (which doubles as my emergency signal mirror and shaving mirror) improves accuracy. The magnetic needle, orienting arrow, and index line are all glow-in-the-dark, which I found surprisingly very handy. I love being able to set declination, too...this compass has it all. I lost my original on a trip and liked it so much I bought it again. A compass is a must for any backpacker; buy this one!

      Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
