[at-l] Hiking Stick/monopod

[landis@epix.net (Steve Landis)]

Your welcome Bob.  A little tip, when using the compass pick the stick straight up
by the cork like you were lifting a wine glass.  The stick will then become plumb
and the compass will quickly settle for a reading.  It's easier than keeping the
stick planted on the ground and moving the top of the stick back and forth until you
can get the stick plumb.  It's a rather basic compass but it should keep you from
heading in the wrong direction in the morning after retracing you steps from the
blue blaze into a shelter.
