Creating Your Own Homemade Compass

[Skvez]

Wet and Cold

Certainly there are a few rare cases where creating a compass this way would be necessary but I wanted to point out that it’s a last resort idea.
I've read too many threads where prepers have been confused into thinking that a novel way of improvising something is a good way to do it!
An example of this being people who but a battery and wire wool into their BoB to make fire, yes this works but a more reliable, smaller, safer, cheaper, longer lasting way would be to pack a lighter.

I don't want people to be packing magnets and needles into their BoB instead of a real compass!
