How to navigate without a compass

If you are lost in the wild or even in a city, finding where the basic compass points are without a compass is very handy. From there you can orientate further with a map or even a city information guide.

I once needed Polaris while sailing, fortunately it was a clear night.
Nice video. Thx

This was great, thank you! This is something I can show my kids and not confuse them in the process.

Mr H, I just loved that experience of your enthusiastic teaching. Overwhelmed by it

If you have a digital watch, you can draw a properly aligned clock in the dirt (a circle divided into 12 with the first line drawn along a stick shadow), then use the watch method as normal.

Thanks for that Southern Cross instruction. I didn't know it was done indirectly like that. We sure have it easy up north with Ursa and Polaris.

Me: Oh those last two look like the easiest to do! I'll keep those in mind

Light pollution: we do a little trolling

Orion est à l'équateur. Quand on est dans l'hémisphère Nord il apparait à l'endroit et indique le Sud a son zénith. Quand on est dans l'hémisphère Sud il apparait à l'envers et il indique le Nord son zénith. Donc le contraire que tu dit. Bonne continuité.

Excellent.. U r the only one who answe mt question. After finding Polaris how to draw north line? 🙂

[georgeeast]

Thanks. Good video. Maybe you can also tell me whether you know of anyone lost in the past that managed to determine the North South line without a magnetic compass or app on a phone, and then successfully proceeded at an angle of 237.5° back to his home / car / good samarathon civilisation ?

I certainly won't climb through thorn bushes, or swim across a 2 km lake to get home. Did I say bear country?

Thanks again.

For the sun method is it possible to use the same method at night with the moon, or does it not work with the moon ?

[frankjames]

the image shows the watch vertical as if yuor were rising yuor wrist to tell time, but you said horizontal which would mean as one would stretch out their arms towards the horizon.. if thats the case how can the hour hand point to the sun if the sun is upward but the numbers o the watch is all on the horizon?

[architagarwal]

Nice video, just i think that in orion i think downward should be south instead of north

[canecorsodude]

Nice video! Do you use 1 o clock everyday during daylight savings or only on the daylight savings day?
