THE ULTIMATE
Survivors
We went outside and learned how to identify different types of plants and if the are edible or not. This will be helpful out in the woods so that we know a little bit about our soundings. That way we can tell maybe want plants are dangerous and what ones aren't. We also learned which ones are edible so if we need to we can eat them.

This week we learned how to set up a sleeping bag. So if we have one out in the wilderness that we can sleep and stay warm. We learned how to set it up and how to roll it back up so that it is portable again.This week we made different types of smores so that when we are out in the wilderness we know what one to make. There were several types like a kit kat one, a chocolate graham cracker with a ghirardelli salted caramel chocolate. Then we made another version where we took the chocolate graham cracker with the Ghirardelli chocolate and added a potato chip to it. It doesn't sound good but it was the favorite out of all of the ones we tried. Some of the other ones was an original and then a triple chocolate with Hershey, Reeses, and Ghirardelli chocolate.
We each learned how to make different styles of fire with different materials. The type of fire that dixie built was called a log cabin. She used real fire wood that is in bigger chunks and would require an axe to cut. Along with some smaller sticks used to first light the fire. Ambria made a fire from little sticks and branches that you would just be able to pick up around in the forest, this is a much smaller scale fire.
We practiced our knife skills this week. We carved different things to get more familiar and comfortable with knife and wood. We learned a lot about the kind of wood that we used as well as the kind of knife. You have to have the right kind of knife to get the best carve. Also once you carve your spear we learned that if you sort of cook it over fire it makes it harder and stronger. Ambria carved a spear and that is the first two images a before and after. Dixie carved a pencil.
We are going to learn how to be the ultimate survivors. Learning things like how to build fire, make shelters, and find supplies. Also we will learn what is the best things to take with you when you go to the wilderness. We will also learn how to survive with limited supplies. For our final test we will spend two days in the forest alone.
