| Compass Companion's Faq's
(and answers!)
Why are the cards so inexpensive?
A. The cards are produced in very large quantities
to an extremely high quality standard. The more we produce, the cheaper
we can sell them! This enables us to offer them at a price low enou gh
to encourage everyone to buy them - just in case!

Are the cards durable?
A. Yes.
PVC cards are very inferior in comparison ('Mountain Bike Pro' magazine
tried to destroy our cards but failed). That is why we can offer a Lifetime
guarantee

Where is the best place to carry the Emergency Action
Card?
A. Tie it onto your Rucksack drawcord. If someone
finds you unconscious the most logical thing they'll do is to open your
Rucksack to see what can used to protect you from the elements. That means
they'll find the card and hopefully follow the guidelines. Note: tie the
Compass card on your Compass cord.

I've been trained in outdoor type emergency situations.
Do I still need your cards?
A. Yes!!!
Consider the fact that you may have an accident. Your safety would depend
on the actions of those giving you assistance. Not only that, but you
would still be responsible for the safety of any inexperienced persons
you took out with you!

On a card I purchased some time ago there is an
Internet address other than yours. Why?
A. Some cards
were purchased to be used as an advertising medium by other Companies.
We offer this service (no charge) for very large purchases. Note: some
of these Companies or their Internet addresses may not exist any more.
