How to use a Prismatic Compass when lost in the Jungle....!!

I have often got lost whilst camping, here are some 'top tips' when using a prismatic compass to ensure 'You' dont....

Top Tip:

1. Select the bearing on which you want to march
2. Open the lid and fold it flat
3. Undo the knurled knob and move the bearing round to the top
4. Tighten the knurled knob
5. Line up the two illuminated sticks
6. Point the compass
7. Walk forward ensuring that the two illuminated sticks do not separate
