Whether on a casual walk in the woods, locating a particular place or hunting in the forest, it's easy to get turned around. Now you'll know which way is up, or at least which way is back towards home. Besides how long have you wondered how people know these directions.
Method 1
A. Find a sunny area on the ground Locate a stick,
branch, or other long thin material (such as a tent
pole section).

B. Plant the stick or pole firmly in the ground -Mark
the top edge of its shadow on the ground. Use a
pebble or other item to make the mark.

C. Wait 10-15 minutes - and mark the top edge of its
shadow again.

D. Draw a straight line on the ground between the twomarks. This is the East-West line. Since the sun rises in the East, our shadow moves in the opposite direction across the ground, so the shadow will move West to East. The first mark on the ground is West, and the second mark is East. Clockwise from West is
North, and clockwise from East is South.

Method 2
Watch where the sun sets and rises. The sun rises in the east. The sun sets in the west. Be aware that this isn't exact but is an approximation. The sun only rises exactly in these directions on the spring and fall equinoxes. However, it's appropriate enough for the
determination of general direction.

Method 3
You can just purchase a compass or better still downloap the Compass Application on your Smartphone. And one more thing is once u get an accurate reading once, you can use a deductive reasoning to know this position even when you are without the instrument.

And one last tip - I know most Nigerians don't use map and that's why they often ask for direction from passers-by. So when you are going to a place you don't know much about the route, you can make use of a map. Infact google map will do better for these. So just download it on your phone or surf the search engine.

Posting the full post would have made sense and would have been front page worthy.
