The challenge of getting through a hurricane is not one for the faint-hearted. This is especially true when your precinct happens to be in the path of the monster. Even if you don't live on the coast, you might have to leave your dandy digs and grab a few hunks of cash from the booze bucket. It's a good idea, in case of emergency, to keep track of your loved ones. It's possible for your loved one to become lost in the snow or cold. There are many options to make the ride more pleasant or even enjoyable.


A hurricane-proof kit is only one way to go. If you're going to be stuck indoors for a while, don't forget to stock up on water and the right kind of food. It's best to have a plan in place before you get caught up in the storm.

How to Navigate Without a Compass, or with it?

Although a compass does not tell you where you're going, it can help you get back to your home in case you lose your bearings.

There are three methods you can use to navigate.

  1. By landmarks
  2. Magnetic North (using a compasse)
  3. By stars

Landmarks can be objects you recognize as soon as you see them. They are trees, buildings or rivers. They are useful as they can be used to show you where you are.

Magnetic North is simply the direction in which the Earth's magnetic field points. If you look at the sky, the sun appears like it's moving across the sky. However, the earth's magnet field causes the sun to move about the earth. While it may appear that the sun moves across the sky, in fact, the sun actually moves around its horizon. At noon, it is directly overhead. The sun is directly beneath you at midnight. The earth's magnetic field is constantly changing, so the exact direction of the magnetic North pole changes every day. This means that sometimes you may be off course for quite a while.

Another way to navigate is with stars. Stars rise and set above the horizon. These are fixed points that can be used to pinpoint your location relative other locations.


What can you do to survive in an emergency situation?

There is no time to think about the next thing to say. So you need to make sure you are prepared for anything. Make sure you know how to react when confronted with an unexpected problem.

You should also be prepared to think outside the box if you're in a difficult situation.

You'll likely face problems such as:

  • You feel trapped in remote locations
  • Getting lost
  • Having limited food supplies
  • Running low on water
  • Facing hostile people
  • Face to face with wild animals
  • Finding shelter
  • Predators must be stopped
  • Setting the flame
  • Using tools
  • Building shelters
  • Hunting
  • * Fishing


What are the essential skills you should have in survivalist camping?

You should prepare for every eventuality when embarking on an adventure journey. You must learn how to survive under extreme circumstances.

You must also be prepared for all kinds of weather, from hot sun to cold wind. If you don't take these precautions, you might end up dying.


What is the most important item for survival?

How To

How to Build a Fishtrap to Survive

A fish trap can be described as a device used to capture fish. It is composed two parallel bars (the "trays"), which form a funnel shape. The water flows to one trap end. It then collects at bottom of the first tray. This causes the water level in the tray to rise. The water level rises and falls through the second bar. This allows the fish trapped to escape.

Fish traps are an ancient invention that was originally used to catch salmon. These traps still function today. However, they can also be used to catch freshwater catfish like bass and carp.

If you have access to enough water, it is possible to make your own fish trap. You'll want to use some kind of material to line the inside of the trap. A commercial fish trap kits can be bought online if you don’t have much space. These kits usually include everything you need except the materials to construct your trap.

If you do decide to make your own fish trap, here are some things to keep in mind when building it:

  • Ensure the sides of the trap are strong, so the water doesn't leak through them.
  • Choose a spot that gets plenty of sun to warm the water.
  • Smooth surfaces like stone or concrete are best for trap bottoms. Sand and gravel particles will gravitate to uneven surfaces.
  • Make sure there is no debris in the trap area so the fish can't get trapped.

Once you have constructed the fish trap you will need to place it at the edge of your pond. You don't have to worry about the fish escaping. Just leave the trap alone for several days and they will start swimming in again. It is not necessary to clean the trap, as it should remain moist. If you see any dead fish floating around the pond, you can remove them later.
