I've never had any compass training and i found this video useful, but to be honest i wish you had used the compass and spent more time explaining how it works. I find this to be the case on many of your video's, someone starting out in survival techniques needs more information and more examples of how things are used.

On a sunny day the magnifying glass at the compass can also be used to make fire.
