Survival in the snow

Hi I’m Kade and I’m here to tell you about surviving in the snow


1.Keep Warm / Avoid Hypothermia

Hypothermia (Hypothermia is a potentially dangerous drop in body temperature, usually caused by prolonged exposure to cold temperatures )can kill faster than any other threat in an extreme cold climate, so staying warm and keeping your body temperature up should be priority number one.

If you have extra clothes, then wear enough layers to stay warm, while still being able to move around comfortably.
Make sure that your clothing stays as dry as possible. Be sure to wear multiple layers of socks.

Throughout these entire survival steps, you are always going to want to stay as dry as possible.

You'll also want to create a fire each night to keep your body temperature up.
Use the heat from the fire to dry any clothing that you might have gotten wet during the day.

Building a Fire
Building a fire in the snow can be difficult, because most of the materials will be too wet to ignite.
You will need to find a relatively dry area as a location to construct your fire.

Building The Structure:
Step 1: Gather any dry tinder, twigs, and branches of various sizes that you can find.
Step 2: Using the smaller twigs, create a teepee shape with tinder placed in the center.

Lighting The Fire:
If you have a lighter or anything that sparks, use it to ignite the tinder.
If you have glasses, binoculars, or a camera, use the lens to concentrate the sun's rays on the tinder to ignite it. Then blow when it starts smoking.

You can use the fire-plow method, but again, the materials must be completely dry and not saturated for this to work:

The Fire-Plow Method:
Step 1: Find a softwood and cut a groove in its base.
Step 2: Place some tinder at one end that you will ignite.
Step 3: Using a hard stick, plow the end up and down this groove to create friction.
Step 4: The tinder will begins to smolder, blow on it to help fuel the fire catching process.
Step 5: When the fire catches, place more tinder and small twigs on the fire to help it grow.

2. Build a Shelter

If you are able to find a nearby cave, this is a great shelter to use in extreme cold environments. However, be sure that the caves are not already occupied by animals, such as bears, before entering them.

If you are unable to find a cave, there are two other effective shelter systems that you can use in the extreme cold climate.

The Snow Cave
Step 1: Dig a hole into the snow.
Step 2: Discard any snow downhill.
Step 3: Dig upward to create the sleeping area above the door.
Step 4: Use a stick to create ventilation holes in the roof.
Step 5: Create a packed snow door to cover the entrance.
Step 6: Make sure there are ventilation holes in the door.

If you are in forest areas, then create a "Lean-To Shelter":

Creating a "Lean-To" shelter:
Step 1: Find a large branch and lean one end up onto a tree.
Step 2: Place smaller branches at 45 degree angles along the length of the large branch.
Step 3: Cover the entire structure with leaves and foliage.












3. Finding water
The first thing you should be aware of is that eating snow by itself does not hydrate the body. The snow must be melted first.

Melting Snow By Fire:
If you have a tin/aluminum can available, this will provide a perfect container to add the snow and melt over a fire.

Melting Snow By Sunlight:
If you in an environment where you are unable to create a fire, then your best option is to get any material that are water proof, set a thin layer of layer of snow over it.
The more reflective the surface, the better. Allow the sun to melt the snow and the drips can be funneled into a container.
To speed up the melting process, use a lens from glasses, a camera, or binoculars to focus the sun's rays onto the snow.



4.Finding Food

The animals in the forest provide a valuable source of nourishment.
Unless you are an expert hunter, you are going to have a better chance of trapping your food, rather than trying to catch it.
Use the 4-figure deadfall trap as a way to trap and kill your food.

The 4-Figure Deadfall Trap:
Step 1: Gather 3 branches and a heavy stone.
Step 2: Cut notches in the branches as indicated in the illustration below.
Step 3: Hold up the rock with one hand, while positioning sticks "A" and "C".
Step 4: Once the weight of the rock is resting on "A" and "C", use your free hand to insert and mount the trigger stick "B".
Step 5: Let go and the trap should be balanced and set.
Step 6: When a bird or animal comes along to eat the bait, the trigger stick will trip and the rock will kill with a fatal blow.



5. Traveling/Resting:

Always travel during the day, while resting at night.

The snow will be the biggest obstacle in making distance while traveling. So a good idea is to fashion snow shoes out of the available twigs that you have at your disposal.

Creating Snow Shoes
Step 1: Find two flexible branches.
Step 2: Bend them into a round, pear shape.
Step 3: Tie the ends together with cord or torn strips of clothing.
Step 4: Cross smaller branches over the pear shapes.
Step 5: Interweave the cord/strips to secure the smaller branches to the snow shoe.
Step 6: Find a flexible branch to act as a strap to slide your own shoe into.
Step 7: Secure this branch to the sides of the snow shoe.
Step 8: Slide your food into the strap and you're ready to start walking in the snow.

Once you have created your snow shoes, follow the same techniques you would use in a forest survival scenario. Find a nearby stream and follow it down stream until you reach any signs of a settlement or civilization











6.Predators


Bears:
Bears are hibernating during the winter months and you will not likely run across any unless you disturb their sleeping quarters. Be careful when traveling and be cautious of caves. It's possible that they are already occupied by hibernating bears and you would not want to disturb them.

Wolves:
Wolves will only attack when they feel that they are being threatened. Keep your distance and try not to appear threatening.





8. Getting Rescued

If you already let people know where you were going before you got stranded in the snow, then chances are that a rescue party is looking for you. Your chances of survival are greatly increased if you stay in one place rather than travel. Rescue parties can sometimes take a couple weeks to find you, so you might want to try to hold out until you are absolutely sure that the rescue has been given up. There have been many stories of people dying in cold climates, simply because they didn't believe that rescue was coming and they tried to venture out on their own.

Whether you decide to stay in one place or venture out on your own, you can use these guidelines to help you survive.

How to make Chocolate Pie

Making the crust
ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour

  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (I used 2 tablespoons regular + 2 tablespoons dark cocoa)

  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar

  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 2 tablespoons oil

  • 1/4 cup (half a stick) cold unsalted butter, cut into 1/4-inch slices

  • 3 to 5 tablespoons ice wate
Method
Place the flour, cocoa, sugar, and salt in a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.  Stir in the oil, until the mixture resembles coarse meal.  Add the butter slices, tossing to coat.  Stir in the water, a tablespoon at a time, just until the dough gathers itself into a ball.  Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour.

On a lightly floured surface, pat or roll the dough into a rectangle about 1/2-inch thick.  Fold it into thirds, like a letter.  Roll out again to a thickness of 1/2-inch.  Turn the dough 90 degrees and repeat two more times.  Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours minimum.

Dust the work surface with flour, and roll the dough out to an inch or two larger than your pie plate.  Roll the dough around the rolling pin and transfer to the dish.  Trim off any excess, then roll and crimp the edge.

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 cups HERSHEY'S SPECIAL DARK Chocolate Chips (12-oz. pkg.) , divided
  • 4 egg yolks
  • 1/3 cup cornstarch
  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • 3 cups milk
  • 2 tablespoons butter or margarine , softened
  • One pie shell 9-inch
  • Sweetened whipped cream or whipped topping (optional)

DIRECTIONS

  • 1. Bake pie shell; cool. Stir together sugar, cornstarch and salt in 2 quart saucepan. Combine egg yolks and milk in container with pouring spout. Gradually blend milk mixture into sugar mixture.

  • 2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Boil and stir 1 minute. Remove from heat; stir in butter and vanilla. Add 1-3/4 cups chocolate chips; stir until chips are melted and mixture is well blended. Pour into prepared pie shell; press plastic wrap onto filling. Cool. Refrigerate several hours or until chilled and firm. Garnish with whipped cream and remaining chocolate chips, if desired. Makes 8 servings.

When finished it will look like thisImage result for chocolate pie

He got his gun out and ran across the room the sardines attacked him he lost grip of the gun he tried to get out the cat was getting closer to the mouth of the robot shark he got out “there we go” he said but he was to late he shot the shark dead. He shot a hole in the robot he found her unconscious he drove her to the hospital a few weeks later she came back to the house and that day the cat and the penguins were safe.    

Jail in the outback

This is Kade, he robbed a candy store he’s riding in the S.W.A.T van. “Having fun” said the guard, I hated him so much, I said “yeah” frowning and he
laughed at me “good, plus you have a nice roommate ” he said sarcastically.


It was getting hot in the van and I was starting to sweat it took a long time to get there then the van door opened…
It was too sunny to see but then it happened I saw cacti and kangaroos just then I realised I was in Aussie it was so hot a snake nearly bit me.


One of the guards said to me “Welcome to the outback” yeah I did really hate him I thought then he took me inside “this is the courtyard where we do the roll.” Then he walked off to another place and I ran to catch up with him “this is where the facility is where you do thing” he said then he went up to something that had a air conditioner “last but not least your cell

It has a air conditioner because we're nice sometimes SO GET IN YOUR CELL NOW!” So I scrambled to my feet and got in my cell. Then I found my roommate it was a llama and it spat in my face. It took 159 days to escape but finally I got out I ran away and got hit by a dump truck.

When he came back to school he went into his

Class mining inside there were creepers everywhere he could do one thing fight. He ran over to the nearest chest found a picaxe and fought the creepers. He hit them and whacked them the rest ran away. “I need to learn to fight” he said to himself he changed the subjects to fight 5 times a week. Once he did it for long enough times his teacher told he is a true master at fighting. He had to find herobrine the next day he set to find herobrine but first he needed to get some armor and weapons he found a cave and started to mine he was lucky because he found a dungeon with three diamonds and 32 iron.He went to a village and crafted iron armor and a diamond sword and went to a library to enchant his sword but he came up to a villager “oh hello can I use your enchanting table to enchant my sword” steve said “meh” the villager said. It also let him have a bow “thanks so much” and he set off it was getting dark and he came up to a patch in the wood he looked round and saw two glowing bright white eye so he new it was herobrine he charged at him with his sword herobrine teleported to behind him and punched him in the back steve got out his bow and shot.

The day the moon fell to earth

This was the day moon fell to earth it was so early, it was 2:00am in the morning on a weekend! I went out and I saw it coming it fell right on me, then it cracked. I came out as hideous gooey monster then it said “goodbye” at that moment there came a black hole then heaps of big ships came out they started to shoot everything. I climbed up the tallest building and started roaring all over the city. Then a scientist came out with some sort of gun “shoot this at the sky and portals will come sucking out all the ships and the monster up to another dimension with no life” he said ”ok” said someone he shot it up and a portal came sucking everything up last the monster “next time new york” it said. Then spider man came “what did I miss” he said “everything” someone said “oh,school work and stuff like the daily newspaper oh damn it I didn’t take any pictures of the monster “doesn’t matter if he comes back you’ll have heaps of time for taking pictures”. And now this story has come to an end like other one hope you had a good time reading it.

Kades Learning Conference


HI this is my learning conference on here you will see my goals and next steps for
maths,writing and reading



Tuesday 9 May 2017

what it will be like in 2057


I imagine that in 2057 there will be a hover cars and self flying planes that never crash. I also imagine that the cities will be really nice and the towers will be really tall and everything will be really cheap because robots will be building it. You won't need to go to school because the teacher will Facetime you on a really big screen so you can sit on a couch and you be educated and be lazy at the same time. You will be able to command the robot to get you anything, absolutely anything. let your mind run wild! You might command your robot and tell it to get me a drink or something like that. There will be hoverboards and lots of cool technology and there will be rocket boots!
