The first thing they did once they got lost from the Jeep was to figure out which way was north. How did they do this? (2 answers)

• If it's afternoon, put the sun on your left-hand side and you'll be facing north.

• Look for moss on the trees.

• Check the wind. The wind is always blowing from the north.

• Look which way the birds are flying. They always fly south.
