Silva – Compasses and Gear for Navigation, Outdoor, and Wilderness Activities
Since 1933, Swedish Silva has been a pioneer in navigation and outdoor equipment. The brand is especially known for their precise and user-friendly compasses, which for generations have been the preferred choice for outdoor enthusiasts, scouts, and adventurers worldwide. The products are designed to perform under demanding conditions – from dense forests and mountains to open plains and challenging weather.
Silva Compasses – Precise and Durable Compasses
Silva’s greatest strength undoubtedly lies in their compasses. They have produced the world’s first liquid-filled compass since 1933, and their products have since been standard equipment for adventurers, military personnel, and professional outdoorsmen.
Most Silva compasses are built with:
Easy-to-read dials with luminescent markings
Waterproof and shock-resistant construction
Built-in rulers and measurement scales for map use
Friction points on the base plate for safety and stability in hand and on maps
A mirror for precise sighting
The Silva 1-2-3 System – Navigation Made Simple
Silva’s 1-2-3 navigation system is a method that makes it easy to navigate with a map and compass – even for beginners. The system allows you to quickly and safely take a bearing:
Place the compass on the map so the edge connects your starting point and destination.
Turn the compass dial until the north-south lines align with the map’s grid and north points to the top of the map.
Follow the arrow: Turn yourself and the compass until the needle points north – then follow the direction arrow forward.
This system is used by scouts, the military, and experienced bushcrafters – and is one of the reasons Silva compasses are among the most reliable on the market.
Here at Survivalstore.dk, you’ll find a carefully selected range of Silva’s quality products – from their robust, precise, and user-friendly compasses to the Scenic 8 binoculars, which provide a sharp view of the landscape, and the versatile Discover Hybrid Black headlamp, with high brightness and hybrid power – allowing you to use both regular batteries and Silva’s rechargeable hybrid battery.
