Comment on I would personally just treat whatever direction I'm facing at the time as North and go from there.

The Sun rises in the East and sets in the west.

With East on your right and west on your left you would be facing north.

You can tell which side of the equator you are on by the way water swirls. Northern Hemisphere water drains clockwise. If water draining has no spin then you’re on the equator.

Sometimes the moss on trees is enough of an indicator, as moss growing on only one side of a tree means no sunlight reaches it and the moss faces the direction opposite of the equator.
