Simple Compass Pouch

[Kepis]

I made myself a few new leather compass pouches this afternoon, ideally suited for compasses up to Silva Type 15 in size and anything below that, the pouches are made from natural tanned leather with a nice suede finish so it's not too hard on the compass, the brass popper has no effect, that I'm aware of, on the compass needle.

The pouches of course can be used for anything you want to use them for, not just for carrying a compass, and indeed i use a smaller version of one of these as a small sewing/repair kit that is in my pack all the time, but also use one of the size shown to carry fire lighting equipment, trail snacks, even small hanks of cordage, their uses really are limitless.

Looks good to me Kepis mate.
How much cheese can you fit in one of them, I like cheese do I.
The last time I used a compass and map on Dartmoor, thinking me and the misses had gone a fair distance in the fog And me telling her exactly where on the map, the fog lifted and we were staring at Widdicombe where we set off from a couple of hours earlier. Down to The Old Inn to drown my sorrows I went.

I love Dartmoor i do, spent many a happy hour down there
