User questions & answers

Question:	I got the the 2 pack and one of them has a defective compass. What do you recommend me to do
Answer:	No, not according to DHS.
Question:	Does the bracelet come as fire proof and how much of a chance is there that it will start a fire on my rist
Answer:	We usually don't replace the battery.Since the battery and the LED light are an accessory that is connected together. If you want to replace the battery,then you need to replace LED light and the battery at the same time, it is complicated. The battery on the survival bracelet can last for more than 70 hrs, it usually enough for using in the wild emergency
Question:	Has anybody actually been able to start a fire using this firestarter
Answer:	Yes, but the certification of the LED, Compass and Thermometer has no official guarantee. The Thermo and Compass seem sealed well enough as they have no exposed adjustments. The LED has a small hole when opened. It is closed/sealed by the cap-pull on the T-Knife when buckled. If that cap is missing, the seal is with your skin and the bottom of the LED portion. The metal tools, including Ferro rod, are sealed away via the buckle so they will not be lost, but as for exposure to water long term, that is something in would check and dry after exposure. So that is the best I can say for "waterproof".
Question:	Can you wear it in an airplane or can you have it with your carry on
Answer:	Yes. If I remember correctly, you press the button two or more times or you hold the power button until the light turns off? I hope that I was able to help?

Question:	Can you provide an electronic copy of the booklet which came with the compass? I'm finding the font size in the booklet difficult to read
Answer:	I'd be with you on that since I'm over 50! Even the manual is hard to read, though. ! I am looking around to buy a compass, and wanted to see how easy the manual would be to read after the PDF file was offered by the seller after you asked your question. It was a disappointment -- although must be 10X better than the one that came with it. Even when you enlarge it on your computer, the print is not even a solid line. Perhaps the manufacturer should re-do their manual to make it much easier to read. Have you found the manual easy to read? Did you print it? Maybe it appears better once it's printed.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it waterproof
Answer:	:) Yes and no. the brass case isn't water proof. It's just a cheap case that looks pretty when new. It'll get scratched pretty easily though. The actual compass inside is waterproof. It has to be as the needle is surrounded by a liquid (I assume it's mostly water). So the plastic case is "water tight", which means it has to be "water proof". For the price, these are great compasses, but they're very inexpensive for what they're trying to provide to you... don't expect a family heirloom.
Question:	What kind of metal are these made out of
Answer:	Copper shell
Question:	Does this really work
Answer:	The compasses worked fine over the week I spent hiking in the Canadian Rockies. As you would expect from the low price, they are lightweight, and I don't expect the compasses to last forever, but they were perfectly operational and serviceable for my purposes.
Question:	Does it actually come with 2 and does it really glow in the dark
Answer:	Yes, it does come with 2 and can glow in the dark.

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I be sure that I will receive recently manufactured compass if I order it from here
Answer:	All the compasses in our inventory have manufacture dates in the last five months.
Question:	Does the compass come with a canvas pouch
Answer:	The Compass comes with a good quality nylon pouch that secures with a snap. There is a sturdy strip of heavy nylon on the backside of the pouch to allow it to be secured to web gear with either Alice or Molle type clips. The compass also comes with a nylon lanyard of good quality to allow it to be carried around your neck if desired. This is a well made compass and worth the money in my opinion. I hope this helps.
Question:	I just took a night time navagation course and am wondering if you can set a bearing with this without the use of a flashlight
Answer:	I have NOT purchased this item so I cannot verify that it meets the MIL-SPEC. But If this is made to MIL-SPEC the bezel will have 120 detent notches that correspond to three degrees of arc. Rotate the bezel to set the luminous line to align with the fixed black line. Then rotate the bezel one click for every three degrees between NORTH and the desired course. Simple example: to travel west (270° Magnetic) rotate the bezel 30 clicks clockwise. Then when you align the north seeking arrow with the luminous line 270° will be under the black line. Of course with this style compass you have to do the math to correct for the mag. deviation in your area. If you want a compass that handles that for you, consider a Silva Ranger or similar where you declinate the compass to whatever area you are navigating and don't have to do the math. But the Silva does NOT have radioactive markings so you will need to "charge it" with a light from time to time which goes back to your original question. I used the military issue compasses for several decades and thought they were great, especially the older version that had a Radium paint rather than Tritium. Radium dials were far brighter and had a long half life decay.
Question:	US manufactured or China
Answer:	If it is not listed made in the U.S.A., then it is most likely made in the PRC irregardless of the letters U.S. stamped in it. If it were a genuine U.S.A. made tritium lensatic compass, the price would be over $100.00 easily.
