Our latest survival skill that we learned today was how to snare and trap game out in the wilderness.
We had a special guest demonstrator: Katie's big brother, Andrew. He lead us outside, gave us each a length of wire and encouraged us all to create our own rabbit snare.
He taught us where to look for game trails, appropriate spots to set up a snare, ways to camoflauge it and even built a trap using a flat rock and sticks. Cool!
Chandler and Tyler showed some very creative techniques using tree branches, and Sabrina and Bella showed some lovely teamwork among the bushes. I also enjoyed watching Hannah and Zane with their outside of the box ideas.
This week's homework is easy, but very important! Please add the snares and traps handout to your emergency kit. Place it inside of a gallon Ziploc bag (along with your
Emergency Plan Card) hopefully, you won't ever have to use it, but it will come in handy should you ever need to catch some dinner.
Reminder to continue working on your Grab-N-Go bag and fill out your Emergency Plan Card. Remember to take photos of your completed kit, and email them to me: bnlettner@harbornet.com The prizes for those who complete this task just arrived via UPS, and they are really cool!
