Nice little kit.... Did you ever try using the trick candle? They look like the same ones I had....trouble was, the ones I had only relighted 1 out of 10 trys.

Also, if your looking for a small button compass, you can't do any better (in my opinion) than a SAS / Nato compass I got mine from www.bestglide.com for about $30. and am very pleased with it. Don't let the small size fool you....It is a well made, very accurate compass..... no junk.
