You’re in the woods near the end of the day and you ask yourself: should I set up camp now, or do I have enough daylight to keep trekking further down the trail? But you’re not sure what time sunset is, and therefore how much light you have left. Sure, you could check your watch/phone, if you have one. But maybe it’s not working, and even if it is, there’s a simple, age-old method you can employ to find out how many daylight hours there are before the sun sets. The cool part is that the only equipment you need is your hands.
You just need to extend your arm straight out in front with your palm facing you. (the shoddy graphic skills don't exactly illustrate the right position of the arm above; the arm should be fully straight in front of you.) With fingers together, place the bottom of your pinky on the horizon line. You need to measure how many fingers can fit between the horizon and the bottom of the sun. Four fingers equals one hour, with each finger representing 15 minutes. If there is more space than one hand, line up your other hand on top of the first one and count accordingly.If there is more space than two hands can fill, then hold the top hand steady and move the bottom one on top and continue, counting how many hands until you reach the sun.
