Very nice. What do you fish for?
What’s the history behind the compass & how old is it?My belt pouch contains my angling equipment, My fire steel, my tinderbox in my fire bag, & my brass sundial compass.

In the past, mostly catfish, have not had the opportunity to do any fishing for a while, though I am thinking of stocking Cattail Pond with Redfin.Very nice. What do you fish for?
Linen thread with sinew leaders, though I have made my own in the past by cording stringybark.The fishing line is made out of which material?
No I didn't Erbwurst, I didn't see any point, as I use these lines for historical reasons, & because I like to use older traditional equipment.Did you compare if they bite better on transparent modern line?

No mate I have not, the main problem for me being in the Southern Hemisphere is that one has to use the sundial back to front. I figured that would get rather confusing & simply not worth making a video on it. Time is of no import to me, but the compass can be useful for keeping a straight line. It will of course work perfectly well in the Northern Hemisphere where you are.Did you already make a video how to use it?

Well, pocket watch would be closer.If I understand right the description below the sundial compass is something like an ancient wrist watch? And a compass too?
