When pursuing a construction job, it is important to remember that the hours are often unusual and may require you to work outside of the normal 9 to 5 schedule. If you aren't willing to adjust and be flexible, it might be worth looking for a new career in construction.





FAQ

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. By magnetic North (using the compass)
  3. By stars

You recognize landmarks when you see them. They can include buildings, trees, rivers, and others. Landmarks are useful because they provide a visual clue to where you are.

Magnetic North simply refers to the direction that the Earth's magnet field points. You'll see that the sun appears as if it is moving across the sky when you look up. However, the earth’s magnetic field actually causes it to move around the Earth. The sun appears to move across the sky but it actually moves around the horizon. At noon, it is directly overhead. At midnight, the sun will be directly below you. The magnetic field on the earth changes daily, so the direction of the North pole's magnetic North pole can change every day. This can mean that you could be off track for a few days.

Another way to navigate is with stars. Stars appear as if they rise and fall over the horizon. These are fixed points in space that you can use to determine your location relative to other locations.


How do I choose the best knife for my needs?

It can be difficult to find the right knife for your needs. There are many brands that claim their knives to be the best.

But which one is truly the best? How can you choose between them?

First, think about the type of tasks you will be using your knife for.

Do you plan to cut wood, skin or chop animals, or slice bread?

Is it for fishing or hunting? Is it designed for camp cooking or kitchen knife cutting?

Will you be using it to open cans or bottles? Will you be opening packages or boxes?

Does your knife need to be strong enough to withstand heavy loads?

What about cleaning it after every use? Are you planning to wash it often?

Do they need to maintain their edge for a long time?


What is your most valuable survival tool in case you get lost?

The compass will tell you which direction north is. It also shows how far we have traveled to get from our starting point. The compass may not always help you find your way if you're travelling to a mountainous area. If you are in flat terrain, the GPS will often show you where to go.

A compass is not necessary if you do not have one. You can use an object like a rock, tree or other solid for guidance. Even though you still need a landmark to help you orient yourself, it's a good idea to have one.

How to Build a Fishtrap to Survive

A fish trap is a device that is used to catch fish. It consists of two parallel bars (the "trays") that form a funnel shape. The water flows into one trap, and then settles on the bottom of first tray. This causes the water to rise. As the water level rises higher, it will fall through the second bar allowing the trapped fish escape.

Fish traps were first used to catch salmon in ancient times. They are still in use today. However they are also used to catch many freshwater catfish such as carp and bass.

If you have enough water, you can create your own fish trap. For the trap's inner walls, you'll need some type or material. A commercial fish trap kit can be purchased online if space is limited. These kits come with everything except for the materials required to construct the trap.

These are some important things to remember when making your own fish trap

  • So that the water doesn’t leak through the trap, make sure they are sturdy.
  • So that the sun warms the water, choose a spot with plenty of sunshine.
  • For the trap's bottom, use a smooth surface such as concrete or stone. Sand and gravel particles tend to gravitate to rough surfaces.
  • To ensure that the fish don't get caught, keep the trap area clear of any debris.

After you've constructed the fishtrap, you need to place it close to the edge. Do not worry if fish escape. They will return to the trap in a few days. There's no need to clean the trap because it should stay wet. If there are any dead fish in the pond, they can be removed later.
