I would very much like to build a lean-to in a high-up place to make sure that I won't get flooded when it rains. I'd prefer to build it in a bit sheltered place, so that natives wouldn't find it immediately (scared of the cannibals).

Is there a way for me to scout out my immediate surroundings (aka looking around) to see if there's a spot maybe near a mountain where I can build my lean-to against, whilst still hidden? Being against a mountain would also help keep my food cold and dry so it doesn't spoil!
