Silva Expedition 4. Usually goes with me when travelling, as I like to try to get some walking in when I'm away (even for work). Surprisingly handy in cities if you lose your sense of direction (which I frequently do - unlike my wife who, I think, must be crossed with a pigeon).
Find a resilient place and way to live, then sit back and watch a momentous period in history unfold.

Got a watch, that's enough to find north, all simple from there really.
Don't need a compass unless I'm off on Dartmoor or similar, then I've got a silva somewhere and a couple of cheap knock offs. To be fair though, I don't NEED one, as I always know where I am, where I've come from and where I'm going.
Plus I never get lost, I'm just on an adventure until I know where I am again.

I have two in each of my BO bags, with maps, and two in each vehicle, again with maps.
