That last may have been aimed at me so I should clarify. I have a number of compass's and I do carry a back-up magnetic, non-electronic compass. In addition to primary mag compass and back-up, many of my electronic items also have compass's built in although normally turned off.

As has been stated here many times the first step in many rescues is the subject getting lost.
