searched a decent amount of time and read lots of reviews. Professionals in the field recommend it including plenty of US and Can Vets. Some tools are worth the extra to ensure the best quality vs your typical online sources. Smooth compass, keep direction. Planning it to take it on trips especially in more tropical areas and even bush and camping in Canada where a heavy storm, no sat or phone service, no sun and no lights can be common and then you're prone to find yourself in trouble. Appreciated from your neighbors up North.
