Eurohike Map Compass

Advantages: Small, Compact, Lightweight, Affordable.
Disadvantages: Get's a bit hot when cooking.

...I go camping a lot! It would be fair to say that I enjoy it, very much! So it won't suprise you to learn that I love checking out camping shops for little gadgets or something new to experiment with. When it comes to going away, you want to reduce the bulk of whatever you're taking. Even more so when camping, because if you're camping properly you want to go back to basics as much as you can! This cookset made by Eurohike is brilliant! It's desgin means that you can easily nest each pot and pan inside one another to create a small bundle. Very space saving, very practical.

Disadvantages: Not Waterproof

Well not the wilderness more off of the beaten track. It can be fun, but you really do need to have the best of equipment with you. With that in mind the maps I use are ordinance survey maps and the compass I prefer are the ones made by Silva. Why choose a Silva compass? The company that manufactures these compasses arguably Europe’s most reliable compasses, have been making them for 70 years, they are sold to armed forces around the world Silva compasses are liquid filled and have a sapphire bearing, this results in a compass whose needle rotates smoothly and never has the needle wobble that some compasses suffer from. Who are Silva... Read review
