BackPack

This is my survival I put a water bottle, torch, first aid kit, and flint and steel. I put a first aid kit just in case you get hurt and other things. Then I put flint and steel so I can start a fire. Then I put a jacket just in case it rains, and water because I would get thirsty and if I drink it all I can fill it up at a flowing river.

FABULOUS FINISH

For the last two weeks, we have been working on our fabulous finish. I did more about me on Ghost the hard part was drawing the shoes and thinking of what to write. It took me six days to finish it, and in some of the boxes I did a little picture about what it said and I think I made it an overflowing jar of honey. 

Bush Survival

 It's important to know what to do when you are lost in the bush.

 Shelter

. Build away from creeks and rivers.

. Build on a dry, flat surface.

. Your shelter needs to protect you from the rain and wind.

Fire

. Make your fire where the wind won't directly blow on the fire.

.You will need tinder, kindling, and logs, the tinder is tiny and fluffy, and will spark the fire into life old dry grass makes great tinder. Kindling is pencil-sized pieces of wood that will build some real flames. Leaves and pine straw can also help the kindling along but you would have to heaps to keep it going.

Water

To find Also you need to be aware of animal tracks. You can often follow tracks right to a water source. Animals need water just as much as you do to survive, and they will know of any available water source. You should drink from the water that is flowing.

Basic first aid.

You will need a flew bandages, scissors, cotton, and maybe rope and some gloves and that's a basic first aid.

    

 signaling for help.
when you are signaling for help a good way is lighting a fire because the smoke will go up into the sky and people will see the smoke.

Shelter building

I and my troop worked together to make a shelter we went around the posts with the rope.

Then we tried to do each other ideas but they didn't work but then the teacher came and told us all to make it stable and won't let the rain and wind get in she suggested to but it low to the ground the find some things to put and the tarp to keep on the ground. The hard part was tying the rope around the two posts and the easy part was finding rocks and putting the tarp over top. We all worked as a team and to make our shelter but at the start, we all wanted to do a heap of our own ideas but it didn't work so we talked to each other and made it work.

I think our team was successful I would give it a 5/5 because we got it done and we worked as a team.

Research

 This week I did research.
I research about Jason Reynolds, the hard part was finding heaps of info about him and it was hard finding out what to research about him.

Tent Review

What was the hardest thing? Getting the poles out from the tent.

What worked well? Putting the poles through the tent because the pole would come apart.

What did you learn? To go slowly and read the instructions.

Tent Plan

The tent we are aiming to make is a tarp and rope tent. To make this we are going to need two trees so that we can tie the rope to. Then we put a tarp over the top of the rope.

To make the next tarp and rope tent we are going to tie a rope around two trees so it makes a rope line then we are going to put a rope through the holes and tie that to the trees so it makes a triangle that we can fit under. We chose these tents because we thought that they were easy to make and that they had a nice shelter.

Creation Station

This is my Chapter Chat that I did this week. I  did creation Station. The hard part was drawing and coloring because it took a long time to draw motivation mobile. tationCreation Station

Shelter Building

A good place to build a shelter would be near a windbreaker or by a water source.

Before building a shelter you will need a well-contracted area that will protect you from the rain, wind, sun, and cold.

Before deciding what shelter you want to look around for such as a fallen tree, uprooted tree, two trees that have a stick in the middle of the trees then you could find some branches with some leaves to put over the stick in the middle of the two trees.


Pros: Quick to build, does not need a lot of materials, can be waterproof if it's built correctly.  
Cons: Not always waterproof, there could be too many insects and spiders, heaps mosquitoes.  

Native trees

Zealand Christmas tree, Zealand Christmas tree is a coastal evergreen tree in the myrtle family. You would find a Pohutukawa throughout the North Island particularly north of New Plymouth and Gisborne. Pohutukawa grows best in warm drier areas close to the sea. Pohutukawa is well as a cultural symbol, the species has several practical uses. Its hard strong timber was used for ship-building, and parts of the tree were also used medicinally by the Maori.

Away With Words

This week I did away with word I did a poem. The hard part was coloring it in but the easy part was writing the poem because I had it all writing in my book.

Figure 8 knot

The figure-eight followthrough is one of the strongest knots. It forms a secure, non-slip loop at the end of a rope. Also known as the Flemish Bend, this is the most widely used tie-in knot by mountain climbers.

It was kind of hard but in the end, I did it.

Alpine knot

When a line of hikers wishes to hook on along the length of a shared rope or as a possible option for the first part of a Trucker's Hitch and you can use it for rock climbing because the loop hooks onto the rock.
