Who told me some ways to find your way in wilderness survival?

The most commonly used directions in wilderness survival are the following:

1. Observe celestial phenomena: The most common way to observe celestial phenomena is to observe the North Star, which is due north directly below, clockwise that is, east, south, and west.

2. Observe the Sun: When the Sun is at its highest point at noon, in the Northern Hemisphere, the Sun is located due south; In the Southern Hemisphere, it is due north.

3. Shadow clock method: On a flat ground, a 1-meter-long vertical tree trunk is placed vertically. Indicate the location of the shadow of the tree, and mark the top with a stone or stick.

After 15 minutes, mark the new projection position of the top of the trunk on the ground. The line between the two points gives you east-west directions, and the first thing marked is west.

4. Simple compass: A piece of iron wire (a sewing needle is sufficient) repeatedly rubbed against the silk in the same direction will produce magnetism, and it can be hung to indicate the North Pole.

5. Observe the Moon: If the Moon rises behind the Sun, the "glowing" side is located in the east. This method may seem simple and straightforward, but it doesn't mean that you can use the moon to tell the east and west directions on all nights.

6. Observe the ant's burrow: most of the cave entrances are facing south.

7. Observe the rocks: In places with many rocks, you can also find an eye-catching rock to observe, the moss-covered side of the rock is the north side, and the dry and bare side is the south side.

How to use your watch to determine your bearing:

During the day, if you're wearing a watch, you can use it and the sun to determine your direction. Lay the watch flat so that the time is facing the sunlight (the direction in which the light is coming or the opposite direction of the figure), and then bisect the angle between the hour hand and the 12 o'clock on the watch, which is the direction of the south (this method is applicable to areas north of the Tropic of Cancer and similar to the time zone in Beijing).

Watch the direction of the sun during the day and the morning star at night.

Look at which side of the number of leaves is relatively scarce.

Look at which side of the leaf is relatively scarce, and you can divide things.

How do you get back your way after you get lost? 1. Refer to the map and compass. 2. Take advantage of the sun. 3. Use the stars. 4. Use plants and natural phenomena to determine the direction.

Survival One Plus One: In the endless wilderness, it is important to discern the direction, and where to go determines life and death.

How do you get back your way after you get lost? 1. Refer to the map and compass. 2. Take advantage of the sun. 3. Use the stars. 4. Use plants and natural phenomena to determine the direction.

Sunny day, look at the sun, cloudy day, look at the shadow, although it is very light, it can be judged, and then go out to travel, bring a small compass.

Travelers are most afraid of getting lost in the wild, how to identify the direction in the absence of a compass? Let me introduce you to a few main ways to identify directions.

1) Conventional judgment of direction with the help of nature.

First, the North Star and the Southern Cross.

The North Star, the Southern Cross, the green line in the picture, the two stars and the Southern Cross will point to an area that has no stars at all, which is due south!

Second, trees, the sparse side of the tree is north, the foliage side is south, the stump has dense rings on one side is north, the tree rings are wide on the south, the tree roots have ant holes in the south, and the moss on the stone side is north (for the northern hemisphere, the southern hemisphere is the opposite).

Thirdly, the slope of the mountain slope is slow to turn snow in winter, and the side with more snow is in the north, and the side with more snow melts faster and the side with less snow in the south is in the south. (For the Northern Hemisphere, the opposite is true for the Southern Hemisphere).

2) Judge the direction with the help of manual tools.

First, with a watch, you need to know the local time, and imagine a dial without a watch, if it's 4 p.m., then the hand is only in the number 4. If you are in the Northern Hemisphere, point the above hour hand in the direction of the Sun, and the bisector of the hour hand to the angle of 12 o'clock is the south (as shown in the diagram above). If it is the Southern Hemisphere, you need to point to the Sun at 12 o'clock, then the bisector of 12 o'clock and the angle of the hour hand is the north.

The skill of finding the right distance must be accumulated through the usual field activities. For example, it is customary to refer to a map and compass at all times, and to actively observe the surrounding terrain and plants to determine the correct location.

The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, which is the most basic way to identify the direction. It can also be measured by the shadow formation method of the wooden stick, when the sun is enough to form a shadow, a straight stick (more than 1 meter) is erected on the flat ground, and a stone is placed on the top of the shadow of the wooden stick (or other marker), and the shadow of the wooden stick will move with the movement of the sun. After 30 60 minutes, place another stone on the top of the shadow of the stick again.

Then draw a straight line between the two stones, and in the middle of this line a straight line that intersects perpendicular to it. Then step on the first marker point with your left foot and the second marker with your right foot. At this time, the front of the person standing is due north, the back is due south, the right hand is east, and the left hand is west.

If you get lost on a cloudy day, you can find out where you are by the growth of moss on trees or stones. In the Northern Hemisphere, the foliage is the south. If you cut the trees, the one with the narrower ring width and the one with wet moss is the north.

For buildings and mounds, snow melts slowly in the north, while in depressions such as earth pits, the opposite is true. The doors and windows of the larger temples in northern China, the main entrance of the pagoda and the independent houses in the countryside are mostly open to the south. The northern edge of the forest glade is more grassy.

In the grasslands of northern China, there are many northwest winds in desert areas, and many snow dragons and salons are often formed near the grass, with large heads and small tails, and the direction of the head is northwest. The doors of the yurts on the steppe are mostly open to the south.

Take advantage of the Nakshatras: In the Northern Hemisphere, the North Star is usually targeted. The key to using the North Star at night to find the North Star accurately in the vast sea of stars.

There are many ways to know the North Star, but here is a simple and effective one: first look for the dipper-shaped Big Dipper (a) and extend the interval between the two stars on the dipper by a factor of five to find the North Star in a straight line (d). The stars on these two handles are generally referred to as point planets.

If you can't see the Big Dipper, look for the opposite direction of the constellation Cassiopeia (b), which is formed by five stars that look like the M or W of the English letters. Draw a straight line from a star in the constellation Cassiopeia, and you can find the North Star at almost the same distance from the Big Dipper to the North Star. The direction of the North Star is due north.

When a new donkey survives outdoors or in the wild, it is inevitable that they will get lost due to their lack of experience; Some old donkeys can just as well get lost in very unfamiliar environments. So, what should we do when we get lost? How to deal with it?

In addition to some of the skills mentioned above, how to identify the direction is the first problem to face. Today, the survival network will tell you several skills for using terrain and landforms to identify the direction, and these skills are for forgetting to bring a compass or losing the compass:

Technique 1: You can find a tree stump to observe, the width of the growth rings is south;

Tip 2: Or find a tree, its south side of the branches and foliage is sparse, in the night without lighting conditions, you can touch the tree pole with your hand to calculate the growth rings to identify the direction;

Tip 3: Look at the hillside to find the direction. In winter, the side with less snow and faster melting is the south, and the side with more snow and slow melting is the north. In the summer, the flowers and trees grow vigorously in the south, and the opposite is in the north.

Using the sun to determine your position is very simple. You can use a pole (straight rod) so that it is perpendicular to the ground, and place a stone at the apex a of the shadow of the pole; After about 10 minutes, when the apex of the benchmark shadow moves to b, another stone is placed. Connect the two points A and B into a straight line, and the direction of this line is the east-west direction.

The direction perpendicular to the AB line is north-south, and if it is in the northern hemisphere, the end of the sun is south, and vice versa is north. The analogue watch determines the direction of the sun. Method:

The horizontal position of the watch halves the time indicated by the hour hand (24-hour format) towards the sun, and the 12 o'clock scale on the dial indicates the direction of the approximate north. If the time is 16 o'clock, the scale at 8 o'clock points to the sun, and the scale at 12 points to the north. To sum it up:

The hours are half of the sun, and 12 refers to the north.
