When choosing the right portable charger to go on your hunt, it is important to consider what you are using and what devices you wish to charge.

The ability to make knots is an essential skill that can save lives when you need to tie yourself to a tree or rope or use them to secure your shelter.
What is the best survival tool if you are lost?
The compass indicates which direction north is. The compass also shows how far you have traveled from your starting point. The compass might not always be able to show you the right direction if you are traveling in a place with mountains. The compass can usually tell you where you are if you are on a flat surface.
For those who don't have a compasse, you can use a rock or tree as a guide. Although you would still need to locate a landmark to guide yourself, at least you would know where north is.

How To
How to Build a Fish Trap To Survive
A fish trap can be described as a device used to capture fish. It consists of two parallel bars (the "trays") that form a funnel shape. The water flows into the trap end and collects at the bottom. This causes the water level to rise. As the water level rises higher, it will fall through the second bar allowing the trapped fish escape.
Fish traps are an ancient invention that was originally used to catch salmon. They still work today, but now they're also used to catch many types of freshwater catfish, such as bass and carp.
You can make your own fish trap if you can access a large enough pond. You'll want to use some kind of material to line the inside of the trap. A commercial fish trap kit can be purchased online if space is limited. These kits typically include everything you need, except the materials needed to build the trap.
Here are some guidelines to follow if you decide to build your own fishtrap.
-
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.
-
Avoid rough surfaces such as concrete and stone to trap sand particles.
-
Keep the trap's area free from debris, so fish won't have any problems getting caught.
Once you've built the fish trap, you'll need to put it somewhere near the edge of the pond. Do not worry if fish escape. They will return to the trap in a few days. The trap should remain wet so there is no need to clean it. You can always remove dead fish from the pond later if you find them.
