A thumb compass is super helpful for adventure racing where being fast and accurate through tricky terrain is a helpful skill. Enter the thumb compass!
As the name suggests, a thumb compass is a small/medium sized compass which attaches to the (left usually) thumb so the navigator doesn't need to hold the compass. The compass is placed on the map which is obviously held in the same hand. Super handy.
A thumb compass can be tricky to source locally and usually are pricey so I made one using a worn out cycling glove and an old spare compass:
I drilled a few holes in the compass (very gently) then sewed the compass onto the glove.
Done! Super easy.
