Is it time to stop and scrounge for shelter or is it better to keep trekking? Use this simple trick to measure the remaining daylight. Remember to allow yourself at least two hours to set up camp before the sun goes down.
Count the finger widths between the sun and the horizon. Each finger is equivalent to fifteen minutes, with each hand totaling an hour.

Good info, brother.
Four fingers is a good way to measure your shot glass.
A couple four finger shot glass of ole granddad would make any body a better driver.
Summer would differ from winter. How much. I wonder? I guess, though, since winter would give you more time, it would take equally more time to make camp and get the fire going. Moot point?
