Practical Wilderness Survival- Second Period- Monday

[alwaysonguard]

"So we are going to look at another aspect of wilderness survival that is a must," Dwight said as he stood and made his way to the front of the class once everyone had gathered in the Danger Shop. "Aside from water, one of the most critical things necessary to survive any length of time in the wilderness is a heat source. Even in warmer seasons, the nights can get very cold. And if you get wet, the chill can be even greater. And naturally, in the winter, hypothermia is a real concern if you are without a good fire for any length of time."

"There are many ways to build a fire, and several tricks that can help you start and maintain a fire effectively. For now, we are going to focus on several types of fires you can construct and we will assume you have matches or a lighter handy. Once we finish with the video, I will answer any questions you may have, and then we will try to build some of these fires ourselves and see how we do."

With that, Dwight started up the video and sat on the desk at the front of the class as it played.

Watch the video, take notes, take a nap... Dwight won't be too judgy.

Once again, Beta started out taking copious notes... and then getting distracted trying to come up with new ideas for fire starting techniques using the kind of components they were likely to have on the road (machine bits and blaze and all), so... she was probably still kind of learning the lesson?

This sounded like something that could be rather useful to know so Guillermo was paying close attention to the video and taking as many notes as he could.

Alara was also paying close attention to the video, she figured this would definitely be something that she should pay attention to.
