Lost in the woods and don't have a compass? You may have a compass on you and not realize it. If you have a watch point the hour hand (small hand) at the sun. Halfway between the hour hand and 12o'clock is South. This only works in the NORTHERN hemisphere. If you have a digital watch; you can see what time it is and then you'll know where the hands of the watch are supposed to be. Follow the steps and hopefully you'll be out of the woods in no time at all !
