We

were yacking about compasses a while back,

so I thought that I would show
Max Bottomtime's patented compass bungee mount.

In case you didn't know, Max Bottomtime is a bungee expert.

If you have a bungee question, throw it at Max. He knows more about bungees than
most people have forgotten.

DISCLAIMER: This
only works on those standard flat compasses that have four little holes
in
the
bottom.

First get a couple of feet of 1/8" bungee.

Next
pry the compass shell open. A flathead wedged in a couple of locations works
well.

The
Rose ring on top should pop off.

Now
you have 4 pieces. The Rose ring, case, fluid filled guts, and a tension
spring.

Take
out the tension spring and save it.

Now
poke the bungee thru the holes.

I
use a modified square knot.

If
you make two rings, it adds redundancy.

Hey,
how about that, no boot!

Next
time you see Max, give him the ring, maybe he knows a recycler...
