Описание к видео why i don't trust suunto compass quick release &better lanyard option

I love the suunto mc2 compass and I've owned a few over many years. I also own and love a k&r alpine compass that I have had since 2013. Prior to that I owned many other compasses of similar style. To me they are nearly identical in features except the suunto has this quick release feature that I have never trusted from the time I have seen it. I just knew from my outdoor experience in wilderness survival, long distance hiking, and search and rescue that it would fail. Many of the places I go require you to go off trail, through heavy brush and tall weeds. So it seemed logical that quick release was its weak point. So while putting together a new kit i remembered a conversation with a friend telling me a story about practicing for a land navigation SAR course last year only to look down and their compass was missing off their lanyard. I knew right away why and I kind of interrupted and filled in the story (just the details made me realize it was a suunto compass and he had used the quick release feature). I've never trusted the suunto quick release and in this video i show you why along with my solution that has never failed me in over 20 years of land navigation. So all of my compasses used in search and rescue, wilderness survival, and long distance hiking all use this method for securing the lanyard to the compass.
