Was brushing up on some orienteering and all i have is an old simple one I had from the scouts.

If you do which one would you recommend?
 
I'm old school. Still go nowhere off road without an old fashioned compass in my pack, and I was a die-hard USGS topo map fan till they started putting out junk... But that's another rant. Du unto makes a wide variety of floating needle compasses, all useful and reliable. Here's a good link on features to consider:

Yeah was looking for a good one with that mirror feature. I have
onxhunt and all that, just dont wanna rely on phone/tablet power. Tried field testing it out in mojave just target shooting, still need to get used to it.
