Just like a river. If you're swimming with the current your swimming downstream. If you're swimming against the current, you're swimming upstream.
That's exactly right.

1shotkill1993....if the wind is hitting you in the face....you are sitting downwind, not looking downwind. The river analogy makes it easy to understand.

Unfortunately where I hunt, I'm all around wind. Dang wind is never steady in one direction unless its blowing about 15-20.
