Shadow-Tip Method
Find a straight stick about 3 feet long.
Place the stick in the ground in a level area.
Mark the shadow's tip with a stone or twig (this first point is always West).
Wait 10-15 minutes until the shadow moves and mark the tip of the shadow again.
Draw a straight line through the 2 points and that is your east-west line.
Stand with your first mark on your left and your second mark on your right and now you are facing North.
This method will work anywhere on earth.
To make it more accurate wait 30-45 minutes and make 3 or more marks as the shadow moves.
