I like to carry a compass with a small base plate for better map navigation, and when I need my compass to take a quick bearing, taking off the pack and digging through the ditty bags for the compass is a serious P.I.T.A.
So, I purchased this small pouch from the outdoor retailer TAD Gear, labeled BC4. My Silva Field 7 compass fits perfectly in it. It Velcro’s unobtrusivly right onto my pack shoulder strap, I now can have quick access to my compass on the fly without un-mounting my pack!
The compass weighs 1 ounce and so does the pouch…2 ounces total. Other items like a thermometer, small flashlight with batteries or whatever can fit in there for quick access. Thanks for looking!
