I’m surprised that things like US military-style tritium-illuminated compasses aren’t more popular or widely used for cases like this.
They’re very safe, last something like 10 years, and aren’t really expensive (compared to “I need to know what direction I’m going and have no way to do so, or can’t see it”).
