I'm not a "prepper": I like backpacking; I like gardening; I like shooting (but not hunting, as I'm a vegetarian); I keep a hurricane kit at home with a couple months food and a generator.

This is just enjoying my hobbies combined with good sense preparedness for living in Florida.

As for plastic compasses, they work fine and are hard to break, orienteering is a fun hobby, and bow hunting is a popular sport here.
