The conditions of the field are complex. Because of this, the compass is very likely to malfuction. At this time, don’t be nervous because the nature also provides us with plenty of direction indications.

(1) Identify directions with the help of stars. Find the Big Dipper in the sky and then find the sixth and seventh star along the "handle". Based on the mathematical principle that two points determine a straight line, find the bright North Pole star in the attachment about five times of the extension line. The star indicates the direction of the north.

(2) Find a larger tree stump in the forest and identify the direction according to its annual rings. We are supposed to know that the tree rings are always wide to the south and relatively narrow to the north.

(3) observe an independent tree and you will uncover that the southern branches is more luxuriant than the north side branches.

(4) Identify directions according to an ant's cave because the entrance of ants is mostly facing south. Besides, in places with many rocks, we can also find a striking rock to observe, and the mossy side indicates the direction of the north, while the dry and bald side indicates the south side.

(5) In addition to the above methods, our analog wristwatches are also good tools for finding north. Divide the time by 2, and then align the quotient with the sun, and the direction of 12 indicates north. For example, at 8 o 'clock in the morning, divide the number by 2 to 4, and turn the 4 on the dial to the sun, and 12 points to the north. If it is in the afternoon, it should be calculated by the 24-hour clock.

Experts remind

The direction of the forest is difficult to discern, the watch needles can be used and the moss are also good references. At night, you can look up to find star.
