>>1973359> do you own a compass,Yes, an old Swedish Silva compass from the late 1970s (though mine doesn’t have the magnifying lens).
> do you know how to use it and have you used it?Yes, I was in Boy Scouts and we did the merit badge for orienteering.
> do you consider it more or less important than your knife as a part of your kit?I keep it in my small hunting/fishing pack but if you become lost, all a compass will tell you is where north is but you’ll still be lost.
