Using mirror on compass

Dr. Larkin Powell with the University of Nebraska-Lincoln explains how to use that silly mirror on your compass. Third in a three-part video series on compass use for field biologists. This video is used for an on-line course in Wildlife Field Techniques.

Good introduction to sighting compass.
I m a prepper and occasionally I go out and bury a cache of food.
I mark my caches in my log with GPS location and just in case GPS is shut down I take a double bearings with a Lena’s tic or sighting compass. Where the bearings cross X marks the place.

Good video. It also looks like the line in the mirror can show us the “Back” bearing more accurately.

What brand is your mirror compass ? I can't see the magnetic declination adjustment.
