These Survival HACKS for Wilderness Navigation will Blow Your MIND!
Wilderness navigation is one of the most basic survival skills. But what if you find yourself lost in the wilderness without a compass, gps, or smartphone? How do you find north and navigate to safety? In this bushcraft hacks video I'll go over five methods to find north without a modern compass. I'll start by showing how to find the north star and use sticks and the sun to find true north. Then we'll learn how to make a compass with a needle and magnet. Since most people aren't in the habit of walking around with a needle, I'll show how to turn your knife into a compass as well. And finally, we'll use a few common items from our pack to make an electromagnetic compass to find magnetic north. These are important direction finding skills you could practice at home or in your backyard. The folks below are a HUGE part of what makes these videos possible! Please show'em some love!
