Should you ever get lost in the woods without a compass, remember the moss on trees faces north; a spiders web faces south; the tops of evergreen trees bend to the east; and the sun sets in the west.

Also, if you are in the northern hemisphere, imagine a straight line drawn through both tips of the cresent moon. Follow this imaginary line down to the earth´s horizon. Where the line touches the horizon is approximately due south.
