Used to have a Bear Takedown with a compass, never needed it and never got lost, but it was fun to play with when I got bored. the first time I hit a big Wisconsin woods I had a longbow, no compass. I Followed a deer to a private berry farm, good berries, and got caught and was advised to hunt on the next corner of their land and shoot that bear that was getting into their berries. I did and just like they said a bear came, winded me and went away i followed it for long time. It got cloudy, it got dark the wind stopped blowing and I had no idea where I was. Hours later I heard a truck engine brake. I went that way and found a road, then proceded to walk four or five miles the wrong direction on that, until a drunk guy asked me where I was going, I told him my plight and he said "I saw that little green pickup today and I know right where it is", moral of the story never accept a ride from a drunk driver, unless he knows where you left your little green courier pickup. I miss my Bear takedown with a compass on it.
