Soldier found north with stick

This is hands down the most ridiculously wrong piece of pseudoscience of the year.

Cool. He knows which direction is north… he’s still stuck on a 3 foot diameter island in the middle Of the ocean….

W and E are reversed. Like it said, sun moves from E to W and the shadow does the opposite. Still he draw a line from E to W between the stones. Should be from W to E.

Y como sabe en qué hemisferio está?

Why not just see which direction the sun sets?

Actually the right stone is W not as shown in the image.

Finding north is the least of his problems.

It depends on what side of the equator you or. maybe he is staring south

First identify which is your left foot 🤣 with another stick.

Puts right foot on first stone and left foot on second.

Maybe it’s opposite

Only in the video the soldier’s left foot is by the 2nd stone not the first, meaning he is facing South, not North! 🤦 Are you sure this is a soldier and not a Western politician?

Why this complexity. Look at sun movement. E to W during day . Stand facing East. Your right hand is South. Left hand North.

Absolutely wrong! At sunrise the shadow it casts will point directly due west. 15 mins later it will cast just slightly east. A line between them will point almost west. lol. Total bs

The line runs West to East: he's now facing South.

Cool, now he knows exactly which direction he’s stranded in 😭

I think the explanation it is wrong base on what they are saying

en la realidad •la sombra va en direccion contraria al sol, si el sol se mueve E - W. la sombra se desplazara W - E •no esperes que la sombra se desplace tanto en 15minutos. • Si te paras en el oeste, mirando hacia el este, el norte quedara a tu izquierda y el sur en la derech

totally inaccurate place stick in ground, orient to sun til no shadow cast wait for shadow to appear and you have due east

Can’t you just see the direction the sun is moving and orient yourself that way?

Es nucho más fácil El sol está a la mañana al Este...

Dove posso comprare quelle rocce e il bastoncino?

wrong

If there’s a shadow there’s sun and if there’s sun, you could just look at the sun see where the sun is you don’t need to stick🤦‍♂️

In what hemisphere?

That's complete nonsense. In the morning, the line would point from east to north, at midday from west to east, and in the evening from north to south. Regardless, in this video, the sun appears to be coming from the north, which is obviously impossible.

I got bad news for soldiers...

If he has to face north to do it, then he already knows the direction of East and West.

I hate when they mirror the content

😂😂😂

pffff! I can do it with just 1 stone!

So did a hill billy!

If he did that in northern hemisphere the poor soldier would be walking around the globe before getting north.

False information

What if it's cloudy?
