A. Tree Knocks

Take a large, solid branch and hit a very tall tree as hard as you can. You want this "crack of the bat" sound to travel as far as possible. Then wait patiently. It might take up to few minutes to get a response. Wait a minute or so then repeat. Hopefully you'll get repeat knocks from various locations getting closer and closer to your location. It is believed this form of communication is ideal for location-orientation, especially during a coordinated hunt. See video demonstrations: Tree Knock 1, Tree Knock 2
