How To Tell Directions Without a Compass

[GPakz]

Walk in any direction, eventually you'll find a civilization. This is 2012, we humans have successfully paved over most of the earth.

[WolfteamFans]

[Mcbenty]

[Jermz1997]

@benjiraul

[Spartan0190]

I always walk into the woods looking like I work at Hot Dog on a Stick

[Junjie890]

After seeung this, i realized that i was so fucked up.

[jaymezabc]

psh, i learned a better way on Man Vs Wild :)

[1999andreas]

if it's day, then you can just know east if the sun is there berfore midday.

After midday, then just check the sun, because now it's in west

[revrunnertech2772]

WHAT ABOUT THE SOUTH???

[blwoller]

[M00nDanCR]

30 minutes? and what if i don't have a watch?

[bookofrecords]

[kimng2]

[screamomusic4life1]

[adversusilluminati]

Just use your iphone

[CAZZERNERY]

@adversusilluminati or iod touch?

[UltimateTwilight135]

@adversusilluminati Because everyone lost in the woods has their iPhone with them :/

[husypup28]

What if you don't have a watch on you? Then I guess you can't do the stick-rocks thing. Or you can guess... XD

[nukeboy14]

@husypup28 lol my dad's watch has a compass

[nubcake007]

I knew it :)

[Maginel73]

When he kicked up his heels, he farted...

[PaulUmbarger]

These things do work but, if you're in need of these techniques then, you have already let a lot of stuff go wrong that someone that can use these tricks good enough to get out of the woods wouldn't never have made in the first place.

[ZackathuiaKawonga]

the stick and rock idea is kinda clever

[tsuiyansuet]

Oh my god, did the dude like pay like several 20 bucks for that tiny dang compass?!?!

[digesteddonkey]

the sun = rises in the east and sets in teh west

[rb1912]

[jstubbs09]

[jogeryjogo]

my wife knows her way around the woods a whole lot better than i do so if i ever need to find the way back but dont want to admit im lost i just start beating her until she runs back

[lutfan]

DAS IST MEIN TEIL

[virtualheadache]

if you're actually lost, how are you supposed to watch this..?

[nygamble]

this is some pothead shit.

[HITMANCHON]

Shit Video like if anyone can remember that shit.

[velvethandofdarkness]

"like if anyone can remember that shit."

Aside from the buttheads who fill their heads with celebrities and other trash? Plenty of people.

[KnightxXx007]

lol i remember when me and my friends got lost in the woods. We didn't use these tips and we just use landmarks for help and tha it. BTW landmarks r good to use.

[gaypplreadthis]

you probally got lost in OSH's flower garden

[manhatmaftw]

hmm who can remember thaT?;/

[velvethandofdarkness]

"hmm who can remember thaT?;/"

Thinking people

[manhatmaftw]

"hmm who can remember thaT?;/"

"Thinking people"

I'm so sure you're gonna be able to think if you're lost in the woods.. You would just think before and bring a compass..

[alleyhanai]

What if the compass breaks halfway through the journey? You never thought about that now have you..

[yestyle]

If you are good at navigate the use of compass.

[frvfilms]

0:29 what if you dont have a watch???

is there a way to tell seconds/minutes??

[slapsh0t11]

it doesn't have to be an exact period of time, just enough time for the shadow to move.

[MrPacMan36]

wow, I would pay over 300$ for a compass too, lol, XD

I wouldnt use a compass actually, I'd use a handeheld GPS

[spidey2065]

hmmm someone on howcast must have been camping or really loves it, because lately there seems to be a lot of videos based on camping and wilderness. oh well makes for usefull tips

[graham1995]

well yha but they usualy do abut what 10 vids on a subject idk

[dungheap123]

yeah, if you never got tired of hiking through the wilderness.

[dungheap123]

I guess if you're lost and you now know NESW, you now have the awesome ability to guess the direction in which you need to go to.

[happymimi16]

that was cool

[HatroVille]

Very good and interesting...

but here's an interesting question...

what good is a North,east, west, south...WITHOUT A MAP?

O_o

[kobokok]

Duh, walking in one particular direction is always better than walking in circles.

[HatroVille]

ahahah Kobokok, I definitely agree with you...

and hahasniper too.

[jasleil]

And that compass looked like a big spoon or ladle on a square platform that you hold on to.

[iamkimbap]

why did he stress on the word "Chinese"?

do i detect some...

[BlitzWing00]

I'm sure he only did it to try to make it sound more dramatic.

[bandofbrothersmovie]

i think that is just how he pronounces it

[iamkimbap]

maybe..

[briant2828]

puts alot of emphasism one the word chinese lol... but ya great tips thanks alot now i just gotta get lost ;)

[bensonak47]

"usually" facing southeast.....this isnt accurate -.-

[FeedThemToTheWhales]

Good tips!

[Rivka45]

those were good tips thanks

now i just have to get stuck in the wilderness...nd hopefully i'll remember them

[ZZZblob]

Wow! $340 for a compass?!

[JPLord1]

[XxMrWilsonxX]

[bigsister463]

[BtiGold]

[bigsister463]

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!! Im SOO with you on that one!

[paokole2]

[michaelthonger]

yeah, but taking the piss entertains me

[michaelthonger]

method 2: ask for directions

[CrossOutTheEyes]

michaelthonger:

I mena, who the fuck could you ask directions for if there's no one ? It's called common sense.

[michaelthonger]

god?

sorry. i fucking hate instructional vids 'cos I have to watch at least 20 a day in the navy, and get great enjoyment out of taking the piss out of them.

[Spitwad666]

why the hell would you want to take piss out of something?

[michaelthonger]

maybe you need a sense of humour. All my comments on the other vids have been recieved really well. Just lighten up.

[BtiGold]

I thought your comment was funny, they're just dumb haters.

[michaelthonger]

thanks. You should see the one on how to crash a prom. that's a classic

[paymybillz]

260 dollar for a regular compass lol! thats a really exspensive compass

[legoboy95]

[muxicry]

[iliketurtals]
