As far as that hunter is concerned, he had the best signaling device right in his hand. Why couldn't he have fired a couple shots (blanks) into the air when he realized he was lost. His buddies would have found him... Also black powder makes a great fire starter. He could have been all nice and warm and someone would have seen the smoke! I mean it was a muzzle loader, right?
What a dumba**

I got a Mio C230. I'm going to see if I can figure out how to use it while I'm eating my lunch today. I'll let you know. PowerPig says they're pretty good. If he thinks so, that's good enough for me.

 But I agree that he could have fired a wadded shot AND used the powder to ignite a fire. He's a dumbass imo for not orientating when he entered the woods and simply determining the compass once he decided he was lost and not heading from whence he came.

Exactly. It still goes "BANG", right? his buddies might have heard him. When I said blanks I meant with the wadding, just no bullet. I don't think he HAD a compass, that was the problem. just a GPS with dead batteries or something...

I didn't mean that he had a compass--using slang for determining NSEW and putting down some sticks

It originated on a German Sub and ended up later on a decommissioned Russian sub. Had it recalibrated at a chandlery in New Orleans and the owner of the shop offered me $2K for it. DO NOT buy a surplus one from Japan--unless you can read characters....
