Brunton TruArc3 Global Compass
The Brunton TruArc3 Global Compass is a baseplate orienteering compass built around the TruArc Global Needle system, giving you accurate readings anywhere on the planet — north or south of the equator. Tool-free declination adjustment lets you dial in true north on the fly, while the 2° resolution dial, inch and millimeter scales, and clear baseplate make plotting routes on any map straightforward. At just 1.3 oz and roughly the size of a pack of cards, it disappears in a pocket or pack lid until you need it. Made in Wyoming, the TruArc3 is a solid pick for hunters, backpackers, scouts, and land navigators who want a no-nonsense field compass.

Global needle is the real deal, works in both hemispheresMost cheap baseplate compasses have a needle balanced for the northern hemisphere only take em south of the equator and the needle drags on the bottom of the capsule and gives you garbage readings. The TruArc Global Needle in this Brunton solves that problem completely. Took it on a hunting trip down to Argentina last year for red stag and the needle settled clean and gave accurate bearings the whole time, no tilt no drag. The rare earth magnets settle the needle fast which matters when your moving through terrain and need a quick bearing check. The tool-free declination adjustment is a huge upgrade over compasses that require a tiny screwdriver you always lose just rotate the dial by hand and your dialed in for your area. The 2 degree resolution is fine enough for serious land nav work without being so cluttered you cant read it in low light. Made in Wyoming which I appreciate. At 1.3 oz it disappears in a chest pocket until I need it.
