I carried a compass from the beginning until I lost it.  It tells you how 
useful it was that I don't even know what state I lost it in, I just went 
to look for it one day and it wasn't there.  :)
And I wasn't even looking for it for the compass, but because it was a 
joint thermometer/compass and I wanted to know exactly how cold it was 
other than very.  Hardly necessary for that, either.  The only time I 
recall using the compass was when we were trying to figure out which way 
the sun was going to rise at Beaver Brook Shelter (I think) on 
Moosilauke.  The shelter does, in fact, face at least partly east, but that 
was irrelevant when the entire mountain was fogged in the next morning!
