use your wrist watch as compass!!

Have you even stuck in a place where you need to find North badly and you are out off a compass?
The thing which is right in your hand can come handy!!!!
Hold a watch with 12 o'clock at left. Move your arm so the hour hand points at the sun. The spot halfway between the hour hand and the 12 is south.[ this goes only when you are in northern hemisphere] if you're in the southern hemisphere, you would point 12 o'clock at the sun but still split the difference between 12 and the hour hand for north. Also, if you practice daylight saving time, you should subtract one hour from the hour hand.
Simple Stuff but Interesting!!!
