About Above and Under Water | Badass Professions (1/6)

Stefan Frey is a diving master, underwater welder and captain all in one. The Hamburg native can be found everywhere in northern Germany where underwater construction is required. Burning and welding work, drilling, or the replacement of piles, their operations are coordinated by the ship's master via radio. And with all this work under water, they are also under time pressure. ------- Chapters ▷ 0:00 - Intro ▷ 00:41 - Above and Under Water | Badass Professions (1/6) ▷ 47:09 - Credits ------- ------- They are nothing for the faint-hearted: badass professions that demand everything from the men who practice them.

How does one cope with such jobs? We give close-up insights into a world full of dangerous work. We accompany three men with badass professions in their everyday working lives – from professional diver and metal caster to explosive ordnance disposal specialist.

What Was Daily Life Like For An Anglo-Saxon? | Life in Anglo-Saxon Times

Most Anglo-Saxons were farmers and lived off the land. They were able to make equipment such as ploughs and tools to help them in their work. They would grind wheat to make flour so they could make bread. Some Anglo-Saxons were skilled craftsmen who made decorative jewellery such as brooches and necklaces. But ultimately, Anglo Saxon life provided challenges long forgotten by today's Brits.
