How to find through north without a compass

in survival •  7 years ago 

Are you planing a new adventure? What about a day out with friends in the woods or maybe in an unfamiliar territory. You can also get kidnapped or find yourself in an unfriendly environment. 

If the opportunity to escape presents itself, can you find your way home? If your answer is no, then sit back and enjoy the ride. If your answer is yes, still enjoy the ride with us...its free.

Now, i am going to teach an important survival skill which can help you find your way home without the use of compass or google map as the case may be.

First step

You need to put a stick upright in the ground where it can cast a shadow. Then mark the tip of the shadow and label it 'A'.

Second step

Wait for 15-20 minutes until the shadow changes position. Again, mark the tip of the shadow and label B (I hope you are the patient type for this).

Third step

Standing in front of the two  marks, place your  left foot on the  first mark and the right foot on the  second mark.

congratulations, you are facing the true north.
