How to create a shadow compass with a stick

Things I won't need in my life but still learn.

Who needs GPS when you have a stick and the Perseverance of a Neolithic hunter? It’s the ultimate 'I'm lost but I have a branch' flex.

I just learned this on the Netflix show Vikings

Amazing

Cool!

@A_la_Bunny Genius. Thank you.

cycles, but the orientation stays wired. does direction ever reset, or just cycle new shadows? #SurvivalSkills #ShadowCompass
