How to use a watch as a compass
This is a great trick and with practice you don't even need a watch, heck you don't even need an object to cast a shadow.<p>The sun is over there, a shadow would be that way, it's about 5 o'clock. That must be north!<p>What I've always thought of as witchcraft is this.<p>Jab a stick in the ground, mark the end of the shadow. Come back some time later say 15-30mins. Mark the new end of the shadow.<p>Draw a line between marks and that is an east-west line!<p>In the Northern hemisphere the stick is south of that line, in the southern hemisphere it's North!<p>What!!
