Sometimes you just gotta go splurge! That compass sounds nice!

It is a nice Compass. Never saw a movement that worked as smooth as this one does. It stays right on it heading with out wobbling around. Since I do Orienteering and Compass quite often I thought awww...heck might as well have a nice one.

The cheaper versions work but it takes a few seconds to settle down every time you move it. This one even has a angle finder in it. Hold it pointing straight up and it gives you the angle via a arrow that moves when you tilt the compass left or right.

It was a splurge for sure. The other 10 styles I have are good for loaners.

Well I shouldn't have but I did.  Dropped into REI and blew through 540 smackers.  

Got a really neat Finland Made Suunoto compass with a Jewlers movement in the compass.  It was pricy 84.00 but wow that needle is precission. It doesn't bounce all over the place like the cheap ones do.  It has a declination .  .  Nice none of my compasses have ever had this.

Got 75 feet of webbing for rappelling.  A new climbing/rappelling harness.  Figure 8 was only 15.00 bucks so picked that up.  Purchased a  MSR pocket rocket and ssome Teniacious tape (really good tape that goes through many many many washings and stays put.)

Salomon 4G hiking boots.  My son loves his Salomon boots.  I have been wearing Scarpas for many years....so went with these pricy 230.00 wearing them to break them in.

I did run off with one of REI's loaner boot socks....opps.  

Up here in KC getting some at&t refresher courses.   It's ok.  Don't much care for hotels.

When you said you bought an MSR pocket rocket I thought AR-15 pistol! MSR is another term for "assault weapons" means "modern sporting rifle".

REI know you by name and yell it like "Norm" (Cheers) when you walk in?

[Mark Jones]

I know. Sometimes you guys say some things on here that I have no clue what your talking about. My son was talking about his AR and all the parts of it and I thought he was speaking a whole new language.

MSR is a major backpacking brand good stuff. Higher end stuff.

It is a nice Compass.

But can it dice tomatoes? Or is that the premium model?

I figured it would be.

But wait thats not all if you order in the ten mins we'll send you a second one totally free!

I have the MSR pocket rocket. It's a really good burner.

And on the heels of an announcement that Kaepernick will be going the free agent route next year, he's yanked in the 4th quarter today. That's after 4 passing yards and 5 sacks, against a pathetic team. He may not play again this year. Way to increase your value, man!
