Agree.

Redundancy, Redundancy, Redundancy.


Small button compasses (on key chain, in pocket, etc) and a flat navigation compass in the glove box of car, and in the car's BOB wouldn't hurt.

I got a little LED light/compass combo for my wife, child, and aunt to put on their key chains for stocking stuffers this year(now to go get one for myself now that I've taken care of my loved ones).
