What are Rill Marks?
Rill marks are distinctive patterns formed on sandy beaches as water flows downhill after the tide has fallen.
As the tide rises over a sandy beach, the gaps between the grains of sand fill with water.
When the tide starts to fall, this water is pulled down by gravity. Much of the surface water washes over the top of the sand and returns to the sea, but some water remains deep in the sand itself.
Gravity pulls this water vertically downwards, not towards the sea. As this water travels down it meets a layer of impervious clay or stone. This water then starts to flow downhill over this barrier until it emerges further down the beach.
As the water trickles out over the sand it creates channels. They are distinctive and ‘dendritic’ - they look a little like trees. These channels are called ‘rill marks’.
More info on beach patterns in my book, How to Read Water.

Spines on leaves are a defensive response. The more spiny a leaf is, the more likely there are grazing animals nearby. This is also why spines on leaves in gardens are common - the plants are trying to defend against the gardeners blades.

    Don't quite get it. You see you're at the edge of the woods and therefore you're able to read the clue in the trees that you're at the edge of the woods??

    • @jamescheynne2879
      @jamescheynne2879 5 місяців тому

      I believe he is saying that typically there is a rule that the longer, more horizontal branches can be used to determine which way is South. However, that may not be the case here because this tree is on the edge of a woodland, so it is likely to have these horizontal branches so it can reach out into a more open area. So he's saying you cannot always rely on the rule; you have to take it into context.

    Huge fan of you work. I've read "lost art of natural guidance" and I was in awe. I love to camp and bushcraft and had no idea of most of what you taught me. However, I'm from the south hemisphere (Brazil) and I would love some guidance over south guidance and plants. But your videos now give "visual hints" onto what have been mostly words. I have been taking my notebook and trying to take notes over sunlight, air moisture, which plants were there. Would you reccomend me some guides to know plants names? Even tho I live and grew in Brasil, the "cerrado" biosphere is very diverse and have an infinitude of plants. Thank you so much for this new type of knowledge that I've found myself in love with!
