Agreed! This is on par with the Tasting History with Max Miller KZread channel. First time I saw one of his videos I thought, this is PBS worthy production and research!

This was so well done!! It really looks like a million subscriber quality video. Amazing work!!! The background music is perfect, as well as your editing. I'm really enjoying these types of educational videos :). It sucks that you don't have more subscribers. That's just crazy!

you are incredibly good at explanations! i bet a sizable percentage of the people that go missing in national forests/parks were led astray by misinformation or incomplete information. i really appreciate the very complete explanations of these phenomena! explaining when it doesn't work is so important and i feel like hardly anyone does that for much of anything

Thanks! Whenever I'm with my siblings, I always test them to see if they know where north is wherever we go haha. Spacial awareness is so important, and the more confident you feel in your environment, the further you're willing to push yourself

The sun always rises in the west and sets in the east, unless your super far north or south. It’s the easiest way to simply look up, remember it’s morning, and know that the sun is in the west.

bro the sun rises in the east. What does the idiom the sun rises in the west mean? Meaning: When people say this, they mean that they don't expect something to happen.

I love this video! You did a great job

ok, im not finished with the video yet, but: one thing you can use to understand directions is that the sun more or less always rises in the east and sets in the west. it's a little off and varies by how much it's off based on the time of year, and it is by-far the most off if you are _very_ north or _very_ south of the equator. but, for the most part, on average, it's close enough to be reliable.

What a gem of a channel, exactly the kind of content I've been looking for. Thank you for making this kind of information so digestible. New subscriber and I'm telling everyone I know about this channel.

I am always amused when I hear the tall tale that moss only grows on the north side of trees. Apparently, in the Pacific Northwest we have a lot of trees who think they live on the South Pole.😂 I am curious how this video goes.

@TheBackpackingBiologist

Hi! I just tried looking it up and I couldn't find any research specifically saying coniferous trees pointing towards prevailing winds. Can you please elaborate? I am familiar with trees pointing away from winds, which is common to see among flexible trees like aspen

Or just use a magnetic compass? It won't need battery or network and works everywhere.
