OK, so yesterday only 4 people came to sports and it was all GIRLS!
We read about 1st degree, 2nd degree, and 3rd degree burns . Then we got to go outside to ACTUALLY make… FIRE!!!! It was awesome, except for the fact that none of us could really make a fire… ha ha. But we tried and, it’s true, Mr. Mertz really does make it look easy. Too bad that today we couldn’t make a fire because of a local fire ban, but tomorrow the rest of the people who didn’t do it will get to try. It’s fun- and maybe I’ll bring my marshmallows!!!! Can’t wait!
Today we were climbing on the trails of Mt. Wachusett and boy, was it hard!!! To those who wanted to go on something steep, you definitely got it today! Am I right? I thought it was very hard, but fun too. I thought it was great to have some laughs afterward. So what did you think about the hike this afternoon? Did you like the climb up the “RoCkY mOuNtAiNs” or the trail down to the amazing and wonderful bus? … just kidding! Though the arriving at the top was a relief, the view was hidden by blowing rain and cold weather at the top of the trail. The forest sheltered us on the way down though, so it got better. So, tell me what you think about this whole experience?
Today and on Tuesday, we had 40 minutes to make amazing shelters to live outside in On the first day (Tuesday) What did you think about your group’s structure? Was it rain proof? was it sturdy? Over all, was it a good shelter? And for the second day (today)- same questions!
Today we learned all about how to use the tarp, and shear lashings too. but I’m going to talk about the tarps. What did you guys like the best about it? Do you remember it all? Comment please by answering those questions, and adding some other stuff that you want to say.
