I only find the need to compass navigate like that in featureless terrain lacking any sort of baselines (like a jungle or open prairie or something). not the case here in NH forests. usually there's some sort of catching feature you can use the compass to head for after rambling and smelling the roses for a while. I only need to follow strict bearing if you really need to dead reckon for something.
