A.S 6 BE CLEAN, BE GREEN

Orienteering is a skill that involves the use of a compass and map usually to aid you in navigating your way from one point to a predetermined destination. Key to successfully orienteering is knowing which direction you face. A compass is a great tool and unlike a GPS it doesn't require batteries. A compass is invaluable in a survival situation. In the absence of a compass there are several methods by which you can determine your orientation. Using the sun is one and stars are another. Lesser known methods are using the terrain to show you direction can be done, assuming you know the geologic features surrounding you. Any of these methods simply tell you which direction is which and by itself this knowledge is basically useless but still it is required for successful orienteering.
