Whitby Gear WG30 Baseplate Compass – Budget Navigation Compass for Bushcraft, Survival & Outdoor Skills
The Whitby Gear WG30 Orienteering Baseplate Compass is a practical, low-cost navigation tool for bushcraft, survival training, hiking, camping, scouting, forest school activities and general outdoor map reading. Compact, lightweight and easy to carry, it is a useful choice for anyone building an affordable outdoor kit or learning traditional navigation skills.
Designed with a clear baseplate, liquid-filled compass housing and useful map-reading features, the WG30 helps with taking bearings, following routes, checking direction and working with OS maps or outdoor activity maps. It is ideal as a starter compass for beginners, a spare compass for group sessions, or a simple backup navigation tool for bushcrafters and wild campers who prefer not to rely only on phones or GPS devices.
The transparent baseplate includes ruler markings and compass scales, making it easier to measure distances on a map. The built-in magnifier helps with reading smaller map details, while the movable bezel, meridian lines and index line support basic bearing work. Luminous direction arrows and a luminous north needle also help improve visibility in low-light conditions.
A supplied lanyard makes it easy to keep the compass close at hand when walking, navigating through woodland, setting up camp or teaching outdoor skills.
