Finding your Way in the Wild
Filed under
Survival Skills, Wilderness
If you find yourself lost in the wilderness without the aid of a compass, you will need to find a way to get your bearings. If the sky is clear you can easily find the directions by using the shadow and stick method.
How do you use the Shadow and Stick Method?
- Find a stick
- Place the stick into the ground
- Take a stone and mark where the end of the shadow is.
- Leave the stick sit for 15 minutes.
- After 15 Minutes mark the next shadow point with a rock.
- Place a line from one rock to the next rock, this should give you a rough east-west line.
