Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am Jeff in NC. I will use the two compasses to teach my granddaughters, ages 8 and 10, to use just as I taught their mother many years ago. I used a nearly identical compass as a boy scout in the 1970's. I have found online tutorials and lessons specifically for children. They will learn the basics at the kitchen table before walking several 3 point outdoor courses. Each course has a treat treasure at the end to make it fun. I will have the joy of time alone with them as I teach a science lesson. The capabilities of this compass are far beyond what they need now but ideal for future wilderness hiking. These girls will even make a simple compass by magnetizing a straight pin to place on a cork disk in a bowl of water. I have done it and the pin rotates to point north even when forced to point any other direction. I was very surprised to purchase these instruments for just $10 each - I expected to pay $30. All you grandpas jump on this opportunity for priceless one on one time with the grandkids. Once they learn orienteering they will impress the pants off their parents!
