Not a minecraft rip-off, this class was about surviving in the wilderness, learning how to make para-cord bracelets that you could use to make fire-bows, making coal bowls, fishing rods, and stone knapping. (No, not NAPPING!)
Day No.1: Carving: The first day was about carving, from soap to wood. We also took a look at some trees, as well as some improvised first aid just for me! (My finger is fine now.) We started working on soap, where we made pigs, tiki-gods, and fortress gates. We then looked at the different types of trees, and grabbed rocks for day two, we went back, had lunch and then... We began to carve wood. I cut my finger. We finished carving wood. Day Over.
Day No.2: Tools: The second day was about making stone tools, smacking bone for awls and fishing hooks, and fishing. Alot. (And we didn't catch anything. ;-;) Using stones to smack shards off of flint, then making serrated edges out of those shards to cut a bone into a fishing hook. We then fished for a hour straight. People fell in. NOTHING WAS CAUGHT wahh wahh wahh pity me wahh. Just kidding, but we didn't get anything.
Day No.3: Fire: Working on making bow drills, then using bow drills to make fire, then using the coals to make a AWESOME BOWL! Placing the coals on a half log and using a pipe to control the fire. The bowls were awesome! (I said that already.) Also, using a bow is not as easy as in le movies. (In fact, NOTHING is as easy as it is in the movies.)
10/10 would go again.
