While there are other questions about your Witz kit (I think I'll build one for fun!), where did you get the SAS compass? TAD Gear is the only place I've seen them, but I'm wondering if there are other options.

$30 for a button compass? Ouch! I have a cheapo version that works ok for now. I also magnitize the large sewing needles, as a last resort they can be hung on a thread and used as a rudimentary compass.

It's true but remember that you can safely swallow them in extreme situations.

The SAS compass was a gift from a friend overseas.

I wouldn't pay $30 for a button compass. I usually use the insert from a Suunto Clipper...

When did you forget how to dress yourself? The day you met your Missus, mate. Just like the rest of us.....

Yeah, I forgot a lot of stuff that day...how to fold laundry, pay bills, clean the house. I must have forgotten, because any time I try to do those things now, I;m told I don't do them correctly, and it gets re-done! <img src="/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
