Teeny Tiny Compass

[Duplete]

I'd like to have a very, very small compass to carry around in my pocket.
Can anyone recommend very, very small one that is also fairly accurate? I've
seen some small ones at Edmund Scientific but you have to buy 10 at one time
and they don't look like they would last long in a pocket with keys, pocket
knife, coins, and other things that might cause it damage.

Suunto Micros...
Liquid filled capsules, jewel bearings and rotating dials. The Gem is the
smallest and perfect as a zipper pull. The Comet includes a thermometer in
Fahrenheit & C scales.

All under $10.

Also... The Silva Pocket Compass is durable and accurate. Has a magnifying
glass & is carried inside the casing when the compass is not in use. A
rubberized case protects both compass and glass from shocks and prevents it
from sliding on slippery surfaces.
$32 shipped.

And a nice wind-chill table on the back. Although I carry a Silva
Ranger and/or a Suunto marine Orca when canoeing/kayaking/backpacking, I
find I use the little Suunto all the time. It's perfectly adequate
unless you need a really accurate bearing, and that doesn't happen to me
all that often.

I would not take my Ranger (my climbing partner would) kayaking.
I would not want to rely it floating. I have a separate marine compass
which floats and holds cylumes in night use.

Yep, Ranger by land, Suunto by sea. Unlike some adventurers, my
kayaking trips usually involve some land travel as well. Although I've
been known to doze off for an afternoon nap while out of sight of land,
I like to pitch my tent where the waves don't reach. I need my comfort,
don'tcha know.
