How to Correctly Wear a Compass

Okay, whatever you’re out in the woods doing your day hikes, overnight camp a trip. You’ve got your compass. You should never wear your compass with your line yard on the same hand as you have your wristwatch. We’ll give you the example of why. Now, take this compass, set it down there just like that. Now, take the wristwatch. This is the Timex expedition, battery powered watch. Your watch if it gets close enough to the compass it can throw as much as 20 degrees off, so you should never ever wear your compass on the same hands as your watch. Thank for your time.
