Jim : 36" is the total length of the lanyard then? So that means the compass is hanging about 18" below your neck?
I'm working on an adjustable lanyard using a double fisherman's knot. I'll be able to slide both parts closer to each other (longer lanyard, to sight at arm's length) or farther (shorter lanyard for simple neck carry only). Sounds like that might work! I'll post a few pics when i'm done.
Thanks for your ideas and measurements guys.
