I am looking into getting the two basics for my survival kit. I don't currently have a compass and would like to get an inexpensive one for the time being. I found the brunton 7DNL on here and was wondering if that was an OK starter compass. Also for firestarting, should I go with the spark-lite or a Firesteel and use the medicine bottle/cotton ball method?
Thanks
