How Snow on Trees Reveals Wind Direction | Winter Bushcraft Skill - video Dailymotion

Barefoot Bushcraft

The forest leaves signs for those who know how to read them. In winter conditions, prevailing winds and storm systems often move from west to east, influencing how snow clings to trees. Heavier snow buildup on the windward side can quietly indicate direction and weather movement.  This is practical bushcraft knowledge rooted in observation and experience — learning to read the land rather than rely on tools.

00:00Hey this is Vilka Yak from Barefoot Bushcraft and I want to show you something really cool in the

00:04woods. So there's a recent snowfall here and you see there's no snow on the trees there

00:08but as soon as I pan the camera there's snow on the trees here. So what that tells me and you

00:17notice the snow is on the same side of every single tree in the woods. So what that tells me

00:25is which direction that that snowfall came. So if it came from that direction there's no snow on the

00:32trees and then it blows towards where the camera is facing and now there's snow on the trees. Now

00:41most storms they come from the west to the east. So if I'm feeling a little lost or turned around in

00:49the woods and I can definitely see right there all the snow is splattered on the west side of the

00:58trees. How cool is that? So the west side facing east. So that way is going to be east. That way is going

01:08to be east. Thanks for watchin.
