Wilderness Survival - Week 2| Thursday Morning, A Clearing in the Woods

Callisto pointed to the box. "Put your shoes in there and take a handout."

"Knowing how to make fire is one of the most important wilderness survival skills possible. Without it, you can't keep warm, cook, or use it to keep predators away from your camp."

"For today's exercise you'll will be split into two groups, one group will start a fire using a bow drill, and the other with flint and steel. You don't get to go home until you have a fire."

Callisto waited until the students had split into their groups, before speaking again.

"Another useful survival skill is the ability to create tools from scratch, even more important is the ability to figure out how to make the best use of the tools available." Callisto held up a pointed stick. "If you want your shoes back, I want a different use for a pointy stick from each of you at the end of class."

Parker signs in. And hands over the shoes. Grumbling and swearing under her breath, but yes.

Shouldn't it be "Fire pretty, tree bad"? This is Callisto...

Buffy just looked very, very sad as she removed her shoes. "Woe."

Buffy pulled out her own pointy stick from wherever she hid it, and held it up in Classic Slayer Position #2 b (not that she knew that). "Stakes are totally handy for vampire killing!" she chirped.

Dammit, I want a Pyro (John Allerdyce) now.

Also, are you trying to kill us with that icon? ZOMG, woman!

Buffy gave the stone bits a long look. "...Yeah, this'll be fun."

Parker grimaces. "Pointy sticks can be used to mark your trail so you don't get lost. Scrape off the bark on a tree, and leave a sign within sight-distance of the last one, and it'll hopefully help you find your way back."

Now she's wondering how Hansel and Gretel ever managed to get in trouble.

Parker gives their materials a very dubious look. "Right. Tell me someone here has done this before. Please?"

Sam signed in, and handed over his shoes with only a weird look.

"This is even more archaic than I'm used to, and that's saying something," Sam admitted.

Sam thought to himself for a minute because Parker stole his answer. "They're good for drawing protective symbols into the ground around your camp," he said.

Molly looked over at the other group. "I think we got the better method though."

"Yeah, but... How do we do this?" Buffy wondered. She reached out to poke the flint.

Molly thought for a moment. "You can use a pointy stick to hold your food over the fire to cook it."

Sam smirked at Buffy. "We've got to strike the flint against the steel to try to get a spark. At least, I think that's how it goes. Dean's always been the pyromaniac, not me."
