The “HOW TO PREPARE FOR CAMPING The second marks the east. Keep Fireplace and Woodstove Smoke In Your Chimney If smoke comes into the room from a fireplace or wood stove, light a newspaper and lift it up the chimney. A strong heat burst can reverse the flow of air and cause the smoke to rise. When you make a fire in a cold fireplace or woodstove, you can make sure the chimney is well ventilated by using a small amount of crumpled newspaper and thin strips of dry wood. Do not add heavy wood until the smoke rises quickly from the chimney rather than into the cabin. Use Duct Tape to Keep Your Boots Tied When Hunting in Brush As you walk through thorns and climbing vines, tie a tight square knot at the back of the boot once around the top of the boot to prevent the LACES from snagging or loosening. When youre hunting in a particularly hairy area, fold the top of the sock, cover the knot, and tape it with duct tape. Use Bullet Box Dividers to Organize Tools Is your tool not working properly Heres a solution. High-power rifle bullets are packed in separate plastic compartments, making them the best holders for small workshop items. Install projectors on the walls of the workshop for pencils, screwdrivers, small chisels, files, awls, and drills. Dry Wet Digital Cameras, GPS and Other Electronics Using Rice If your handheld GPS, digital camera, radio or other electronic device is accidentally soaked, try putting it in a sealed bag filled with dried raw rice and soaking for 24 hours. These particles absorb water without heating, which can cause parts to warp. Normally, your precious gear will resume working conditions after this treatment. Use a Tool Belt to Organize Your Camps Cooking Site When camping, tie a carpenters apron with many pockets to a tree trunk at eye level so you can cook at your place. Fill your pockets with kitchen utensils and a pair of long pliers to handle hot POTS and pans. Apron pockets provide a way to organize your cutlery so that you know where it is and can keep it handy when you need it. Dry Wet Feet With Baby Powder Before Putting On Socks Wet, sandy feet can be a nuisance to people outdoors -- “its hard to dry and almost impossible to pull socks over.“ However, small amounts of baby powder will immediately absorb water and allow you to brush the sand away. Socks are easier to wear on powdered feet, and dry feet are essential to prevent fungus. How to Plank-Grill Salmon, Bluefish, Mackerel, and Shad Oily fish like salmon, blue or mackerel taste better when grilled flat. Marinade slices of fish with soy sauce and lemon juice. Place it face down on a board 1/2 inch thick and youve soaked it in water. Place the wet wood on a gas or charcoal grill, cover and cook for 12 to 15 minutes. The board will evaporate and give off just enough smoke to flavor the fish. Keep Track of Time When Hiking or Hunting Make sure you write down the time before you go hunting or hiking in a distant country. Knowing how long youve been walking will tell you how much time you have to set aside to rewind your route if waterways, rough terrain, or other obstacles prevent you from taking the compaq shortcut. So you can get out of the forest on time. Test Image Alignment Before Buying Binoculars Cheap binoculars sometimes produce misaligned images, making it impossible to get a perfect focus. Before you buy, try focusing on distant horizontal lines, such as roofs. Slowly move them away from your face, still through your eyes, until your field of vision splits into separate images. If the line stays straight, the glass will align properly. But if one side is higher, the prism has a problem. Keep Your Glasses from Fogging Up To prevent fogging, please rinse the lenses thoroughly with water. When they are still wet, put two drops of detergent in front and back. Dry with a clean lens cloth. Polish the lens until all the streaks disappear. 2.HOW TO PREPARE FOR HURRICANE The 2018 hurricane season begin in August and extends until the end of November. Its time to think about how to protect yourself and your loved ones properly during the passage of a devastating storm. If a hurricane is approaching and you cant move to a safer place, follow these tips from the state offices of AARP Florida and Texas. ✓ Make plans to secure your property. Cover your Windows with permanent louvers or 5/8 inches plywood. Bring all outdoor furniture, decorations, trash cans and anything else that is not fixed. You dont want those things to fly in the wind and hit your house. Make sure the trees and shrubs around your home are well pruned so that they are more wind-resistant and clear any drains or drains that may be blocked by rain. ✓ Designate a room in your home as a safe zone to wait in while riding out a storm. Or consider building a safe room. A safe room is a storm or invading fortification. Since this may be expensive, the choice is to simply determine the safest room in the home. Ideally, this room has no windows and too much furniture. ✓ Be prepared to be self-sufficient for at least three days. Although government rescuers will work hard to deal with major disasters, it will take time to deliver relief supplies. You should at least manage for yourself three days. A week will be better. ✓ Think about whether your health could be at risk if you lose air-conditioning, fresh water, sewage service or other services. Although many older people can cope well without electricity, the health of others may limit their ability to withstand heat, especially when they have to struggle to climb stairs or carry heavy objects. ✓ If you decide to relocate before or immediately after a storm, remember that its often easier to go only as far as needed to reach an area where services are still operating normally. Often this is only 100 or 150 miles from home. ✓ Make a plan for your pets. Because many of us consider pets to be family members, we can hesitate to evacuate when necessary for fear of leaving our animals at risk. ✓ If you need assistance during and after a storm, register with a special-needs shelter in your area. To register, call your county emergency operations center. The phone number can be found in the blue pages of your phone book. In the case of evacuation before and after a hurricane, make sure you have a reliable evacuation tool, which should include all the following ➢ Photocopy of ID card or drivers license of all family members ➢ Copy of birth certificate ➢ Clothes ➢ Food and water at least three days ➢ Cash or travelers check ➢ Your evacuation routes, alternative routes, and routes to the local shelters. ➢ An extra set of car keys, together with a box of gasoline. ➢ At least one flashlight with spare batteries. ➢ First aid box ➢ Medicine you may need at least three days ➢ Extra glasses or contact lenses 3. HOW TO COMMUNICATE DURING A HURRICANE 3.1 Getting ready for the Hurricane. ✓ Download news and emergency applications. If you have a smart device, you can download professional applications that connect you to emergency services or give you the latest news about hurricanes. In addition to television and radio broadcasts, these programs will help you stay well ined during the storm. Some applications include [1] the Red Cross Hurricane Program. A storm tracking software called “Underground Weather“ Weather Underground. Waze is a traffic and road closure application. FEMA Emergency Preparedness Application. ✓ Get a spare battery and car charger for your phone and car. In a major storm, youll want to keep your phone plugged in. To make sure this happens, buy a spare battery in case your phone runs out of power, and keep a car charger in your car in case your car runs out of power. ✓ Remember Numbers for important phone Numbers or make a written list. You wont have much time to look up personal phone Numbers during a hurricane. So, type in any number you need on your phone beforehand. Put important phone Numbers on paper, too, in case your phone goes dead or dies during a storm.To make communication as quick and easy as possible, adjust the speed of your phone so that each number connects to an important contact.If possible, stack your written list so it doesnt get washed away by rain or flooding. ✓ Select people outside the danger area as the central contact. And in a storm, its impossible to examine everyone yourself. Therefore, establish an emergency contact in advance that lives outside the affected area. This ensures that everyone has a safe human face. [4] report and get updates.To ensure that everyone has up-to-date ination, contact your central contact regularly. ✓ Keep a cheap spare phone in the first aid kit. This will be an extra lifeline for you in case your main phone signal is interrupted, lost, or becomes unusable. Store this spare phone in a safe, waterproof container and make sure theres a charger, SIM card and anything else the device needs to operate.Look for cheap emergency calls at a used electronics store. By law, all phones must be able to call 911, whether you pay for a wireless subscription or not.Consider buying a prepaid or cellular SIM card so you can call family and friends in an emergency, without paying the monthly service fee. 3.2 Staying Connected during the Bad WhetherStorm ✓ Use text messages instead of phone calls whenever possible. In most hurricanes and similar emergencies, cellphone towers are bombarded with calls. This causes network congestion, which means your phone may not be connected. However, text messages take up far less data and are much more likely to be sent correctly. ✓ Call in an emergency. While text messages are the best choice for keeping in touch with people during a storm, theyre not appropriate for use in an emergency. If you need emergency assistance from a hospital, fire department, police department, rescue team or crisis relief organization, call 911 or a professional hotline immediately.Even if your region offers text-based 911 services, dont rely on it during a storm. ✓ If the call fails, wait at least 10 seconds between calls. Because of the volume of calls, your phone may need several attempts to get through successfully. However, redialing immediately after a failed call can place a greater burden on the network and reduce your chances of getting through. To avoid this, wait at least 10 seconds between each attempt. ✓ Call at rest to prevent dropping calls. Cell towers can be hard to track your phone during hurricanes and similar emergencies. Avoid talking on the phone while walking or in the car in order to reduce the chance of disconnecting. ✓ If your phone and text messages dont work, communicate via the Internet. If you cant get any mobile service during a hurricane, or if the Internet is too crowded to use, see if you can still get online. If you can, try using social media apps like Facebook or specialized messaging apps like Skype to stay in touch with people. ✓ Spend time with your family and friends in case communication breaks. Power, cellular and Internet outages during particularly severe hurricanes could prevent any of remote communication. If that happens, try staying with close friends or family all the time and reduce the number of people you need to connect with. 4. Hurricane survival list. The hurricane season did not end until November 30th. When we pay attention to the coming storm, it is important to consider what to prepare. We have even compiled this practical guide to guide practical steps taken before or during evacuation. Even if youre not on the direct path of a storm, its worth carrying along a survival kit for tornadoes, hurricanes or floods. A set of emergency preparedness tools can really save lives and is conducive to peace of mind. For this reason, we consulted the National Hurricane Center to see what basic survival tools they recommended. Heres what they recommend you keep on hand Water one gallon of water per person per day for at least three days, for drinking and sanitation Food at least a three-day supply of non-perishable items Battery-powered or hand crank radio and a NOAA Weather Radio with tone alert and extra batteries for both Flashlight and extra batteries Whistle to signal for help Dust mask to help filter contaminated air and plastic sheeting and duct tape to shelter-in-place Moist towelettes, garbage bags, and plastic ties for personal sanitation Wrench or pliers to turn off utilities Can opener for food if your kit contains canned food Local maps Once you’ve got these basics in order, FEMA recommends considering adding the following items Prescription medications and glasses Infant ula and diapers Pet food and extra water for your pet Cash or travelers checks and change Important family documents such as copies of insurance policies, identification, and bank account records in a waterproof, portable container.

How to prepare for Tornado 5.1 What’s Tornado Tornadoes are violent storms associated with low atmospheric pressure and whirling winds. They apparently develop when air at the surface has been warmed and a column of air descends from the base of cumulonimbus storm clouds above. Air rushing into the low pressure area begins to rotate fiercely Tornadoes are the most violent of atmospheric phenomena and the most destructive over a small area. Wind speeds have been estimated at 620kph 385mph. The diameter of the twister at ground level is usually only 25-50m 80-160ft but, within it, the destruction is enormous. Everything in its path except the most solid structures is sucked up into the air. The difference in pressure outside and inside a building is often the cause of collapse-or explosion. Tornadoes can
