Do I need a better compass?

Well, I'm going to be doing a couple of bushwhacking trips in the upcoming months and I was thinking that my little Silva Forecaster compass might not cut it for that kind of navigation. Most people seem to use a baseplate compass. I'm not sure which ones I should be looking at. I would prefer if the compass does not weigh more than an ounce. The Silva Explorer Pro looks like it might be a good choice. Let me know your recommendations guys. Thanks.
