How can I use nature to navigate in the wild?

You can use various natural elements like the sun, stars, and landmarks. For example, the sun rises in the east and sets in the west.

What about using plants or animals for navigation?

Absolutely! Certain plants can indicate directions; for instance, moss often grows on the north side of trees in the Northern Hemisphere.

Are there any specific stars I should look for at night?

Yes! The North Star, or Polaris, is a great reference point in the Northern Hemisphere. It remains relatively fixed in the sky.

How can I tell which way is north during the day?

You can use a simple method: if you have a watch, point the hour hand at the sun. The midpoint between the hour hand and 12 o'clock will point south, helping you find north.
