I recently saw this on another forum as quoted from a SAS survival manual. I am looking for confirmation on the accuracy and utility of this
Take a gunsight or a stick- point at star. Wait 15 min or so.
If:
Star goes up-- it is in the east
Star goes down- it is in the west
Star goes left-- it is in the north
Star goes right- it is in the south
Reverse for Southern Hemisphere.
