Old thread resurrection notice...
I am wanting to find a good compass with which to teach my Cubscouts the basics of compass use and a search led me to this thread.
The problem is that Silva is no longer Silva and, it seems, Brunton no longer makes the 15TDCL which became the old Silva Ranger.
Does any one know what is comparable and in current production? I can find lots of Indonesian made Silva's and the closest Brunton is the
O.S.S 70M
Sure, I can buy a $15 Silva for now but I'd like to buy a compass that will last for years. I have two kids in Cubscouts and would like to buy something once that will last as long as they can keep it.
