Military Compass
Army Surplus World carries a large selection of outdoor compass options, and although they’re military-grade, you don’t need to be serving your country to benefit from using one. Whether you’re heading out on a camping trip or prepping for another type of outdoor adventure, you can take full advantage of a tactical compass. You can opt for a compass paracord bracelet, a watchband wrist compass, or one of our multi-function compass kits, which contain additional survival tools, to help you avoid getting lost.

We Offer More Than Just Lensatic Compasses
Army Surplus World specializes in providing outdoor enthusiasts with a wide range of military compass options, but we don’t stop there. In addition to extending these compasses and multi-tools, we also carry:
● Water: Staying hydrated should be your first priority when you’re miles from civilization. Still, you shouldn’t assume that drinking from a sparkling spring will be without its dangers. A purifier can clean even the dirtiest water. After filtering it, you can also store clean water in one of our canteens or hydration packs.
● Shelter: Finding a warm, safe place to sleep outdoors should be your next priority when battling Mother Nature. We have tarps, tents, and sleeping bags to get you started.
● Food: Getting enough to eat when you’re out in the wild is of the utmost importance. Our MREs have you covered.
Don’t wait until the last minute to prepare for outdoor expeditions. Depend on Army Surplus World to supply you with a military compass, as well as the other essentials.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can a survival compass work in all weather conditions?
Yes, a survival compass will work in almost all weather conditions. However, extreme temperatures and magnetic storms may impact its accuracy.
Does an outdoor compass require batteries?
No, an outdoor compass should not require batteries. Instead, this mechanical device can typically operate without them by utilizing the Earth's natural magnetic field.
How do I read a tactical compass?
Read a tactical compass by holding it flat in your hand, allowing its needle to move freely so that it points north. From there, rotate it until this needle lines up with the orienting arrow. Then, point the compass at your intended target and rotate its dial until its sighting wire aligns with the target.
Are military compasses glow-in-the-dark?
Many military compasses use phosphorescent materials or radioactive isotopes to produce a glow-in-the-dark effect. If you would like to invest in a glow-in-the-dark military compass, Army Surplus World can help you choose one.
