Fresh
air, big trees, birds chirping, and cool breeze are some of what
outdoor recreations have to offer. Tall buildings, crowded streets
and honking cars are still no match to the great feeling of being
in the woods and being close to Mother Nature. Camping, be it hiking,
fishing or just camping out gives nothing but enjoyment. Playing
all day long with out any worry or what so ever is priceless to
every man. However, camping entails chores and some mishaps if you
are not really prepared for the great outdoors.
It is necessary to have wrist
watches with you on camp because of kitchen duties. It takes
too much time and effort to prepare ingredients for the meal and
cooking. Knowing how long the cooking time for a meal is essential
to produce the right texture of the food. And the pleasures of eating
are very satisfying which pays off all your efforts. After the meal
one has to wash the dirty dishes, keep leftovers and clean the area.
Then, everyone seems eager to wait for the next meal. You do not
want, especially your kids, to eat way past the proper meal time.
So, how are you going to know the right time if you do not have
ladies watches
with you?
Have you ever heard of sundial? You are not going to use that nor
are you going to look for one inside the camp area. Using the concept
of sun dial is the technique that you are going to use. It is simple
as if you are counting numbers. Instead of using the device, you
will be the sun dial. It is basically called human sun dial. It
does not cost you anything to tell the time of the day.
This is a very easy way to tell time with out any help of the technology
of mens
watches . However, you must have a compass to accomplish this
task. Use the compass to navigate north. Once you are able to tell
where north is, turn around and face towards it. Of course, you
must not be under a shade because it will be no use. Stand on a
place where there is sunlight. Then stand straight and look at your
shadow. Imagine that in an open area that you are in a circle. The
circle represents the compass and the clock wherein the north direction
is the 12 o’clock of a clock. Your shadow is like that of
the hand of the clock. This is only for approximation.
Knowing the time of the day will definitely help you in preparing
the meals for the day. This is important because you need to time
the food when cooking your meals to produce the right texture. It
is not advisable to skip meals or eating them way past the meal
time especially for the children. Plus, it will be easy on your
part to organize other things and be able to manage time properly.
This method will help you a lot if you have forgotten your watch.
But if this will be very troublesome for you because you are still
more comfortable looking at your wrist than your shadow then it
is best to bring along your watch. If you are hesitant because it
might get damaged bring along mens or womens watches that are particularly
designed for outdoors. Buying one for yourself is ideal than to
bring expensive formal looking watches. However, human sundial is
a fun way of telling time especially if playing with your kids.
