Using natural navigation to find direction

Tristan Gouli explains the concept of natural navigation, which involves using natural elements like the sun, puddles, trees, and paths to find direction. Puddles can act as a compass, with those on the south side remaining sheltered from the sun. Trees also provide clues, as they grow bigger on the southern side with branches pointing outward. Even paths can indicate the way, with the muddier side indicating the direction most people have turned. Natural navigation proves useful for Sam and Tristan as they navigate the wilderness.
