Tips for cooking on a trangia

• burn out all metho before packing up, if you don't, metho will leak through your tangia.
• put a drop of water in the metho to reduce blackness on pans/bowls.
• when frying tabs need to be up.
• when boiling tabs need to be down.
• flame needs oxygen to survive.

Safety
where you set up your tangia:

• safe distance from tents.
• good idea to form a traniga circle.
• flat surface.
• don't leave trangia unnattended.
• never spray oil on pan while cooking.
• never move trangia.
• wait for trangia to cool down before packing up.

Hygiene

• Never leave food scraps in your tangia over night.
• Use hot water to clean items.
• Never wash in water source (e.g river)

Cooking challenge (school)
The cooking challenge was held on the grandstand. My group cooked banana pankcakes, the only problem with which was that we plan sufficiently enoughand therefore we ran out of butter to ensure the pancakes did not stick to the pan. This was the only problem and i feel that this was only a minor setback that we got around through the borrowing of others butter, and the banana pancakes were successful fort the cooking challenge.
Cooking challenge (camp)
The cooking challenge was held on the first night of the camp. My group cooked rissotto and I feel that ours was the best dish onthe night.This was the most creative dish on the night and we were unluckyto comes second,to bnangers and mash.

Kayaking

A kayak is not a canoe. a canoe accomdates two or more people, has a more open cockpit,a nd uses an oar instead of a paddle. This kayak is not a leisure kayak either, as leisure kayaks you sit on, rather thatn in, have no storage space, and are smaller in length than the kayak shown above.

When kayaking 8 important things to bring include:

1. water
2. food
3. tent
4. spare clothes
5. first aid kit
6. map
7. safety equipment
8. sunscreen

Things to think of when packing for a kayaking trip:

• what do I need vs. what do i want.
• how much space do I have vs. how much room will they take up.
• Do I need all this weight? - even weight at each end. How can I make things lighter?
• 3 vital things = water, food and shelter

How do I pack?

• Where is the space?
• Where do I fit?
• Am I going to be comfortable?
• Think about small packages (little bags rather than big ones)
• Are things water proof?

Water Proofing

• What really needs to be waterproof?
• Will it really matter if it gets wet?
• how to waterproof? - double bag - snap lock bags are a good way to keep things dry if your kayak gets water in it.
• Where does it all fit?

balance is the key

• When do I need it? - least needed should be put in first
• DONT'T WASTE SPACE
• keep cokpit clear

Tent Prep

• Trees - don't set up directly under trees. Beware of branches snapping, sap and bird dropping when camping near trees.
• Rocks - don't set your tent up with rocks underneath.
• Tents - set up your tent correctly, be aware of your surroundings, be at least 50m from water.
• Gully - dont set your tent up in a gully as rain may cause flooding.
• Fire - at least 20m from tents, controlled, watch for wind.
• Sun - where it rises and sets
• Wind - if possible wind should hit side of tent.
• River - 50m from water.
• slope - if flat ground is unavialable sleep on the slope with your head on the high side. 

First Aid Scenarios

1. Adam walking through the woods

• check for danger as you approach.
• screaming suggests that he is responsive and breathing so his airways are obviously clear.
• circulation is apparent.
• won't require defibrillation
• doughnut bandage around the bone, keep it in place with second bandage (second bandage must not go over protruding bone)
• seek medical assistance

2. 

• DR ABCD not required
• take ben inside
• place his fingers under him armpit, to warm with body heat
• place in warm water after warming up
• use gloves to warm hand on the way to medical help

3.

• check for danger
• chack response to ensure consciousness
• ABCD are clear
• take victim out of the sun (i.e indoors or in the shade)
• sit her down
• monitor victim
• provide cool flannel to cool herself

Leadership

Leadership

Five things that make a good leader are:

·         Strong voice and good communication

·         Good decision making

·         Listens to others

·         Has the ability to control however isn’t over controlling

·         Is able to back up what they say with action.

As a leader I admire Steven Gerrard. I admire his leadership as he leads by example, and his communication around the park compliments this so everyone can see and hear what he wants done. His actions on the park can be so influential and he can lift the entire team with a strong personal performance, it is often a case of, if he is playing well, his team plays well. Steven has been at the club his entire professional career and he has made himself a true leader at the club by leading off the field as well being involved in many board decisions to help shape things the way he wants them and the way he feels it will most benefit the team.

Some people are born leaders, when the situation arises they are always front and centre taking control. These kinds of people are usually very outgoing and friendly, however this is not always the case some of the best leaders are quiet and lead by their actions. Some people are also born followers they would prefer to stand at the back and be told what to do rather than be out the front making decisions and risking being blamed for leading the group onto a mistake.
