The passionate outdoor adventurer knows the importance of having an arsenal of survival gear like a knife, a first aid kit, and a two-way radio. And they know that a compass is the most basic piece of equipment for their sport to help avoid the terrifying experience of getting lost. For the best in preparedness, the outdoorsman should include an altimeter and a barometer. An altimeter determines altitude; that’s important because the environment is intense at higher altitudes and there is less oxygen. A barometer calibrates air pressure to predict changes in weather like an oncoming storm.
