Compasses, maps and GPS were all used in combination together so that we could direct and navigate ourselves to our destination. Obviously the compasses were used to let us know what direction we were facing and what bearing we were taking, the maps were used so we could position and realise ourselves in relation to our destination in terms of distance, where we were and how far until we reached our intended location.

What mostly determined what we were going to take in terms of cooking material was what we were going to eat. We had decided what we were going to eat before we set out to Bradnop so we knew what correct tools to bring with us. We were definitely going to need gas stoves to heat food because we were not going to eat already made cold food for the whole of the trip. We wanted to get the best out the experience so we had to learn such survival skills such as cooking without electricity. We brought a collection of disposal plastic cutlery; knives, fork and spoons to eat with and disposal cups to drink in. However not all cutlery was plastic we brought a carving knife to allow us to cut the food ,ore accurately and with less

Crucially we brought with us gas canisters for the gas stoves this therefore enabled us to cook food at our camping spot. In addition to the cooking equipment we brought with us waterproof matches this was essential as the weather was wet and windy, these matches allowed us to still light the stoves in this weather.

Another vital piece of equipment we brought with us was the First Aid Kit obviously for emergencies or injuries and a whistle because this was an easy identifiable sound to the group so then we would know that it is an emergency if it did

Matches and a lighter are good to carry for starting a signal smoke fire (here you would want to be careful not to start a bush fire in the process). A whistle is also vital to be able to signal from a distance away, to be heard and be able to help direct rescuers with the direction of your whistle. Whistles can also be used to let others know of a danger…

    On an occasion at work I was aware of a staff member communicating very negatively, for example sighing and tutting and general negativity. Supervision was due so it was brought into meeting that last had concerned had noticed a change in the person’s general attitude, I asked if there was a specific reason and was told there was not. Although they agreed that they were being negative. We discussed the workload and it was decided it was not that. It was mentioned by the staff member that they were feeling a little unsure of how to deal with a service user who had dementia and was unpredictable and seemed to have taken a dislike to the staff member .We discussed at length the way forward and I arranged for some training in challenging behaviour and dementia. The staff member realised she could not avoid the service user and that if she had mentioned her concerns sooner the problem would not have escalated. She tried to hide her feelings but they were shown in a different way. I agreed to mentor and support the staff member with the service user helping her to find an appropriate approach, the service user was feeding on the negative behaviour of the staff .In a few weeks the situation was improved undoubtedly and the staff member is more positive and no longer showing any sign of negativity. I recorded everything we had discussed and we both signed it. At the following supervision the staff had been on a training workshop and was awaiting further news of more. She mentioned previously that she felt it was a weakness in her that is why she had tried to cover it up but since our discussion and my ongoing support she would never hesitate to mention any concerns she had in the future.…

    When I started my work placement at my setting I was working with my members of staff and manager who told me how to monitor children when they eat and which child cannot eat certain food because of their religion or culture. Before I started to give out the food for the children I had to read the food policies and procedures to know how to serve the food and drink for the children. At my placement I learnt how to monitor the children when they ate and how much they ate, and also about their allergies. I had to monitor how much the children drink and I had to make sure that they drink enough water or milk.…

    The two faced below-zero temperatures, miles of snow and ice and forests that made it difficult to identify their location and ice along the ground. Alaska covers over 650,000 miles of land, with many mountainous areas and large regions without many inhabitants. Surviving in this rough terrain is easier when carrying a kit with the items recommended by the state of Alaska. What to Bring: Axe Survival Knife Mosquito/Insect Headnet Signaling Devices (Mirror, Watch) Fishing Line and Hooks First-aid Kit Food Coffee Can Pack a survival kit, following the Alaskan state law AS 02.35.110. Emergency Rations and Equipment for small groups. Bring an axe of around 3-4 pounds, preferably with leather or another material covering the handle, which keeps your hands from touching the freezing metal and a knife of 13-15". Survival knives with a partially serrated blade is best because the non-serrated area cuts animal hide, while the serrated side saws through tree limbs and harder surfaces. A mosquito or insect headnet protects your face from biting bugs and signaling devices, including a mirror or watch let you contact search parties. Bring fishing hooks and a line, a first-aid kit, a coffee can and enough food to survive one week. If you're in a group or traveling with others, each person needs their…
