    I am looking at compasses. For years I used a Brunton in the field as we needed to take strike and dip measurements while mapping. Now I’m looking for something smaller. I want to use it for hiking and orienteering, and this new thing I learned about, trekking on horseback. Someone sets a trail, and using map and compass, riders have to find their ways. No GPSs allowed (besides, hubby already has that toy, surprise, surprise ;) ). I want to be able to set magnetic declination, so I don’t want any of the little zipper pull models I’ve seen. And I like aesthetically pleasing things. I’ve seen the typical stuff, but was wondering if you all have seen or used something that you really like or would recommend before I go and purchase the same old, same old. Thanks. Oh, and it doesn’t have to be in Ti. ;D
