Skills orientation on unknown terrain may one day save lives. Being in the woods, city obitalets who does not know the elementary rules of behavior, can get lost easily. Also, the survival of woodland mushroom-useful for fans, hikers (especially alone), traveling by bicycle, competing, and just for those who love to walk in the forest.
How to navigate in the woods - Compass
- Device circular shape with a dial, the center of which must be located bifurcated needle. She has two ends, one of which is magnetized. In the idle state of your needle is on the brake. Should be removed from the lever and wait until the arrow will cease to oscillate. On the dial there are other divisions, identifying the other pole of the planet Earth (C, U, W, V).
- The principle of operation is simple. Their magnetized end (often red) arrow indicates the north pole (zero mark on the compass) and the other to the south automatically. Run compass work must be away from magnets, because the readings can lose. This orientation toward the poles need to locate it on the map, which also has a pole mark. Need to turn the unit so that the compass north coincided with the north of the map.
- This is followed to determine the azimuth. This is the angle between the arrow that points to the north and the desired point on the map. Can serve for the transmission of data communications. Azimuth measured from 0 to 360 degrees. By measuring the angle from zero to the point where you want to go, we find its coordinates.
How to navigate in the woods - the compass of needles
- Need a needle, water and leaf of the tree. One end of the needle is magnetized by friction of wool cloth.
- Magnetized needle carefully placed on a leaf, which is already on the water. Sheet smoothly turns to the north. Not magnetized side points to the south.
- Instead of the leaf from a tree, any non-metallic object can be used (sheet of paper, polyfoam, plastic).
How to navigate in the forest - inspect the territory from the tree
- It is difficult for high trees to guess where the nearest settlements are located, any signs of people. It is necessary to find the highest tree, get out of it, thus evaluate the situation from the height.
- Also, if there is, we use near the lying rocks, the mountains that can also be selected. In order to be easier to stay on the tree, the rope is taken (belt) and is tied up around the trunk. Used on bare areas (without branches).
How to navigate in the forest in the trees, insect
- Moss grows on a tree on the northern side. Croon separately standing trees turned more south, to warmth.
- This also applies to the resin that is formed on pine trunks.
- Also, an anthills, aspen, bird nests will be located on the south side. They build their home in places, much more often the sun gets. From the side where the anthill is closed with a tree or stone, a mound, the north will be located there.
- Rings slice on hemp shifted closer to the north.
How to navigate in the forest - the direction of vegetation under the legs
- Grass burns more from the south, it can help if a person is in the beam.
- Berries of Kalina's bush, rose rose ripe on the south side.
- Heads of flowers are directed to heat. All life seeks closer to the warmth, the Sun!
How to navigate in the forest - direction on water
If a person is in the forest, it is desirable to listen to the environment. It may be possible to go to the murmur of the stream. He eventually can form a river, waterfall. Then follow water, and where water, there may be people there.
If a person is going to campaign on wooded terrain, mountains, valleys, it must first examine all possible information regarding orientation. And also take a map with you, compass, water and food. All knowledge studied in the event of an unforeseen situation will be aimed at saving their or someone's life. But the most important thing is not to panic, approach tasks with a cold mind. Panic generates fear, and he can destroy even the strongest in physical terms.
