Lensatic Military Compass – Tritium Field Compass

The Lensatic Military Compass is the gold standard navigation tool used by the US military and special operations forces for land navigation in all conditions — and the most rugged, accurate field compass available to civilian preppers and survivalists. Unlike baseplate compasses designed for hiking, the lensatic compass is built for hard field use with a die cast aluminum body, sapphire bearing for frictionless needle movement, and a folding design that protects the face during transport. Tritium illuminated dial and needle provide clear readings in complete darkness without batteries — the tritium glow lasts 12 years providing reliable night navigation throughout its service life. Waterproof construction rated for field use in rain, mud, and stream crossings. Sighting wire and rear lens allow precise azimuth readings for accurate cross country navigation — far more precise than basic baseplate compasses in dense terrain and urban environments. Includes detailed land navigation instructions. A lower price point than the Suunto giving beginners an accessible entry into serious field navigation. An essential backup navigation tool for every bug out bag and emergency kit.
