Wrap the measuring tape around the center of your neck and note the measurement. Make sure the tape isn't too tight or your bow tie won't fit properly. You should be able to fit a finger between the tape and your neck. That's how long your bow tie needs to be, from end to end, when it's untied. The extra 19 inches (48cm) will give you enough fabric to make the knot and bow. For example, if the circumference of your neck is 15 inches (38cm), you would want to adjust your bow tie so it's 34 inches (86cm) long when it's untied. If you're trying to make your bow tie shorter, slide the adjustable slider out away from the center of your tie. If you're trying to make your bow tie longer, slide the slider in toward the center of your bow tie. To make things easier, lay your bow tie on a flat surface next to measuring tape so you can see how long it is as you're adjusting it. Once your bow tie is the same length as the measurement you calculated, it's ready to be tied around your neck.

Summary: Use measuring tape to measure the circumference of your neck. Add 19 inches (48cm) to the measurement you got for your neck. Adjust your bow tie with the slider until it's the right length.

This method works best for dogs with very long or thick coats, such as Siberian Huskies, whose double coats take a very long time to dry using the other methods. However, a blow dryer should only be used on a dog who is not afraid of the dryer.

Summary: Use a hair dryer.

In the Southern Hemisphere, the constellation of the Southern Cross (aka Crux) can be used to guide you in a southerly direction. Five stars make this constellation, and its four brightest form an angled cross. Find the two stars that make up the lengthwise portion of the cross and imagine a line that extends out four and a half times greater than the full length of the cross. When you reach the terminus of that imaginary line, draw another imaginary line that extends to the ground. This is, in general, the direction of south. When the cross is lying horizontal, the "four and a half times" mark will be less than one degree from true south. When the cross is vertical or upside down, the mark will be about two and a half degrees (about a thumb's width) from true south. Once you've determined the general direction in which south lies, it might be helpful to find a landmark at that location on the ground so that you don't lose where south lies.

Summary: Recognize the Southern Cross. Use the Southern Cross to find south. Choose a guiding landmark.
