- No special gear needed for this simple survival life hack , just use the sun and the shadow it makes on a simple stick . be sure to mark a spot when you start for it will be your west mark, after 20-30 min mark again where the shadow stops , for this will be your east mark. from there its easy to figure out where True North is . enjoy and until next time !

I have been trying to teach my husband to learn some type of sense of direction for years, and this video right here just may do the the trick! My dad taught me to learn to read maps before I could drive, and before that he taught me to work on cars and such. He told me that he wanted to make sure that his daughter could take care of herself if anything happened to me while living on my own. But I guess with today's society so many people are more tech nerd, than hands on grease monkeys. The man I fell in love with knows nothing of pulling out a front axle and how to replace the barrings. Or to drop a transmission to replace the seals and gaskets, then to put it back. I can do all of that and go camping the real way. Not in some RV camper that everyone uses now. Its a rare thing to see a chick be able to do all this, but my dad made sure I knew how to take care of myself. And now I am passing it all to my daughter so that she will be able to as well.
I feel for you. Having to teach a man about navigation 😞
this is the easiest video to understand, i checked others, the longer their video the more complicated it becomes, thanks!!!
never eat shredded wheat! fantastically informative video!
Naughty elephants squirter water

Great video. Thank you for making it!
man, ur vids r awesome .. what's great about ur vids that u provide any object or information with all its details
Great video, learnt alot
Wow... Never heard of that trick... Please bring more survival stuff out there!
Where did you get that compass? It looks exactly like the one in amra2(military simulation game)?
Excellent work...... Trust me ive tried the method drscribed here. Thanks for the upload.....
Mr. Smith should be in every video. You guys make a great team.
Good tip! Dont forget gun related vids.. Keep it up!
Thanks for video! Very informative 💪🙏🤗👊✌️😁
Thank you, this is very useful.
Awesome! great survival tip. Also what kind/brand of compass was that, towards the end?
This is brilliant thank you
Awesome explanation.
Very useful thanks!
Thanks! Great video
Great video!
Thanks for sharing!
2nd person to like,how do es he come up with such interesting stuff
That is so cool and I can use this idea/information for my project
I hope your project is building a sundial...because they have to be oriented exactly North...which means not only can you tell fairly precise (within 15 minutes or less) time using only shadows, you can orient your sundial North, thereby making it precise, using only shadows. I think that's awesome!
how tall does the stick have to be for it to work in inches
I can't believe there is people who don't know that the sun rises East and settles West. But it's okay my grandma didn't know the Sun was a star. SMH
Thank you!!
Good one man. Eddie
That's so funny because a long time ago my teacher told me never eat soggy waffles as a way to remember north east south west.
its been 4 years but isnt it easier mark west then opposite of that is east and in the middle with a 90 degree angle is north
In the Netherlands they say: Nooit Op Zondag Werken, which means, never work on sundays lol.
That was fuckin awsome dude,who in the world wouldve thought,nice video...u should do more videos like this,thumbs up
Thank you!
This is fucking epic. One if the best survival tips.
This video deserves a like as big as a castle
What about chopped tree circle pattern and algae rock? I guess that can help too...just wondering
Very good!
In Australia it's Never Eat Soggy Weetbix
Thought south Africa was the only one that has that. Best little brick of joy. 😂
The wheelatabix gang always knows what's good for you... OK!!!
Hey man what boots are you wearing in this video? They look decent!
Does this work at any time of day? Thanks.
So cool , best way so far for me
That was good info.
Yay New I'll never forget where I live
Have you already done the watch method as well?
Great video
Fantastic
In the UK: "Never Eat Shredded Wheat."
same here in the US, i think this guy just made up his own lol
Never eat soggy waffles lol
Never eat sour worms
Never entertain sexy woman
Informative
30 minutes is not a less time? After a couple of hour the direction of north wouldn't be changed??
What a task. Sun is always coming from east and going west. Just look at the sky and save 30 minutes.
I know im a year late but thats actually wrong. Its only true in the autumn and spring.
Samu8882 is correct. While the sun is ALWAYS on an exact East to West PATH, the direction of the RISING and SETTING sun is NEVER exactly East or West except in the equinoxes.
Thanks !
thank you
But if you stood on the other side.of your rocks wouldn't people get that confused with.north also?
awesome !!!
Why the first mark is the West ?
U should review all of the mre
It is amzing, not long ago lots of people know this today everybody have a GPS so who cares. but in a survival situation it's important
Or, poke the stick in the ground so it has no shadow. Come back later and the shadow will be pointing East.
I feel awesome
Nice one
i heard it was "Never, Ever, Smoke, Weed" for the points
It should change direction before and after noon.
what do you mean, please elaborate
just find out the direction of your shadow, here in NY, the shadow points to north, so remember that West is always on the left of the shadow and east is always opposite to west.
I just heard Never Eat the rest didn't hear anything
Hey this is a stupid question and I kinda know why but want a better explanation. How do you know which way is north ? I totally get the east and west part using a shadow and time but it seems like it would be easy to confuse north and south??? Does north have to do with the way the shadow moves? Is that how you know?
West is always the left of north
East is always to the right of North
If you live in the US... I always like to think of it as East Coast and West Coast... if you orient yourself with that in mind, it shouldn't be hard to visualize. If the rock representing west is on your right, that would mean the pacific is also to your right... that fact will not change... which means you're looking toward Mexico.
Nice
Good work very helpful
thx
no prob :)
Cool
What is it that he says at the end of every video?
And at night, you can simply use the stars to find North. When it‘s really cloudy though, you‘re in trouble...
That's I was going to ask, how do you find North when its cloudy and you have no sun?
~really nice...............
thats owesome
I'm sorry if this is just me but I think that the video is a little quiet.
thank u
This will help me if a plane ever crashes. And then i get stuck in the wild. And im the only survivor. I think about that happening a lot when i ride plains. Like thats a scary thought. Thats why i'm afraid of planes. When i ride them
Want to this for my ncc exam😁
awesome
Hey can u do more survival kits please :D
most diffidently
KGB Survivalist YES!I love those!

Very nice... additionally you may want to check out Trankors Survival Secret. You can become a survival genius with strategies that you probably don't even know exist.
But what time it was
Brock make an vdo about haw to make sundial
cool !!!
How do you say "paca paca" backwards?
Facing towards north your left hand will always west and you right hand is east.
If you consider left hand is west and your right hand as east so now you are facing towards NORTH
Never Ever Smoke Weed
Show us how to read a compass like the black one in this video
in the UK it's "never eat shredded wheat"
I appreciate your making of this video. The outside audio was fine. The inside audio was not good.
Please set up a system so that you can use a personal mic indoors. I realize that many cellphones and small video recorders don't offer the option of external mic, but that's what you need.
Using the camera's mic in a hard walled space invites room reverb which messes with your plosives and fricatives which are critical for differentiating words. Help yourself and us, please.
i prefer sundial compass (water less) cost 10- XXX $ depending on qualety and if its an antique, i got mine in brass for 15-25$ so its a remake farly obvious (and if ur prepaird to hit the sundiale corretion chart whit a bit of epoxy its actaly pritty ceap, it can fall out if u drop it one or two times).

Hey y hay can help me to dont get post adn finish in China, now im in u.s.a
super
Yeah thanks
But I thought the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, so shouldn't the directions you provided be reversed (i.e. the first rock is east, and the second rock is west)?
No. He did it correctly. Stop, use your brain for a couple minutes and visualize where the sun is in the sky when these shadows are being made and which direction it's traveling. It's really not that difficult if you try to think just a little.
When the Sun is in the East, shadow is cast on the West and vice versa, simple. So first he marked the West, later the East. He is right.
What out in the Southern Hemisphere? Will it be the same or opposite given the direction in which the sun rises here.
Same method , the sun still rises in the east and sets in the west, only thing that changes is the angle the sun travels .
I was under the impression that it was opposite but never bothered to take notice. Cool, thanks man. LIking the survival on a budget at certain stores videos too. In the process of coming up with a good survival kit myself.
TheRealAnarchrox
opposite as in opposite side of the equator, so the sun rises in the east, transits northward, and sets in the west. The Earth rotates about its axis, True North and True South.
nice
I didnt know that !
Nice to know.
I hope i won't have a chance to use this.
Rock on the left is west? but the shadow was cast left to right.. I think you overcomplicated it?
Yes. You're right. It's not overcomplicated. Think about it for a minute...
Rock on the left means sun from the right side, it projects shadow
You don't even need to do that, just face the sun. In the northern hemisphere you're facing south, if you can't figure the other cardinal points you shouldn't be outside. The only time I've ever used my compass was when we're out map navigating. I use it to orient the map to true north (correct the map to the magnetic deviation of where you are and you're golden!) I then pick out mountain peaks I can see and off I go.
This is only true if it is 12 PM and you are north from the tropic of cancer, or, in the case of the souther hemisphere, south from the tropic of capricorn (you would be facing the geographical North)
It's true most of the time noon is easier, but I can always find south and the rest is easy.
Not even close pal
