Wilderness Survival - Week 5 | Thursday Morning, A Clearing in the Woods

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Once again, Callisto had the second lockbox out. "Clothes and shoes, children. And before you start complaining, if you don't give me your clothes now, you'll have to wear them the entire class, and trust me, you won't enjoy that."

Once she'd collected clothing from those willing to give it up, she gestured to a set of spears and hand woven nets. "If you'll take either a net or a spear, then follow me?"

Callisto led the class though the preserve down to the beach, then into the water. Where she proceeded to give a lecture on basic fishing techniques.

"Now spend the rest of the class trying out spear, net and bare hand techniques, but those of you with spears, please be careful of your fellow students, as we don't want to have any accidents that might attract sharks."

"Also remember that you are expected to clean and cook anything you catch yourself. Waste no, want not."

"Okay, now what?" Parker has, wonder of wonders, caught two fish in her net. THey're still flopping a bit.

"Now you cook them," Callisto replied, her tone suggesting Parker was a bit slow for even asking the question.

Parker gave Callisto a sanity-questioning look. "Yes, I know that. With a fire. How do I get the scale bits off? With a seashell? Or am I supposed to just--" She frowned at the gaping-mouthed fish. "Tear them off with my fingernails?"

"You don't have a knife on you?" Callisto tutted. "You'll never survive if you aren't prepared Parker."

Parker glared. "My own fault for playing by the rules, I suppose. Any reason you can't *loan* me yours, while I shred these things?" Then, through gritted teeth, "Please?"

"Of course Parker," Calliso replied, smirking.

"Thank you." Parker took the knife consideringly, then glared at the fish. "Quit looking at me."
