Magnifing lens, compasses and EDC - 01/07/05 10:02 PM
Everytime I consider a purchase I have to make clear in my mind what it is for, what kit does it belong to, and value for money.
Carrying on with that line of thought I had selected the following products for my EDC:
A compass: http://www.swoptics.co.uk/view.asp?KEY=1935
Whilst I recognise the value of carrying one, it seems to be missing on some EDC's recently posted. Views as to my choice and to why EDC compasses are not often mentioned or reviewed for Type, durability, reliabilty...etc
Magnifying Glass:http://www.swoptics.co.uk/view.asp?KEY=1465
Looks decent to me.. The same company also does len's with a x7 and a x10 magnifcation. Does the magnification strength have any bearing on its fire starting capabilites, or for that matter any other benefit? Does it really belong in an EDC kit?
Thanks for your help
