Into the Wild (distinguish between southeast, northwest, etc. )

Method 1: Look at the watch (1), divide the current time by 2, and then find the corresponding position on the dial of the watch to make it aim at the sun. At this time, the orientation of 12 is north. After determining the north, you can decide other directions accordingly. If it is in the afternoon, the time is calculated according to 24 hours. For example, at 4 o'clock in the afternoon, according to 16 o'clock. Please remember: "Time is half of the sun, 12 points to the north". Remember this formula well, and you won't turn when you travel.

Method 2: Look at the watch (2) Put the watch flat with the dial facing up, turn the watch and point the hour hand on the dial to the sun. At this time, the hour hand of the watch forms an angle with the 12 point on the dial, and the extension line of the bisector of this angle is south.

Method 3: Polaris Polaris is the best compass, and the direction of Polaris is due north. The Big Dipper Ursa is like a huge spoon, which is easy to find in the clear night sky. From the direction of the extension line of the two stars next to the spoon, there is a brighter star, Polaris, which is due north.

Method 4: Immediately on a sunny day, insert a small pole into the ground to make it perpendicular to the ground, and insert it into the ground to form a shadow under the sunlight. Put a stone at the vertex of the shadow. After about 15 minutes, when the vertex of the shadow of the straight rod moves to another place, put another stone, and then connect the two stones into a straight line, with the side facing the sun facing south and the opposite direction facing north. The higher and thinner the straight bar is, the more perpendicular it is to the ground. The longer the shadow moves, the more accurate the measured direction will be. Method 5: The dense side of trees and moss crowns should be in the south, and the sparse side should be in the north. Moss is the opposite. In addition, you can also determine the direction by observing the tree rings. The sparse side of tree rings faces south and the dense side faces north. The melting side of the snow must be facing south.
