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

[psycho-barbie.livejournal.com]

Callisto looked distracted as she addressed the class. "Clothes and shoes. And we're doing today's class in the water, so if you want to wear your clothes the entire class, be my guest."

Once she'd collected clothing from those willing to give it up, she gestured to a set of spears and hand woven nets. "Last week we looked at hunting land animals, this week is fish, so 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."

"Anything you catch, you're expected to clean and cook yourself."

"I've seen human guts," Walter said blithely. "You don't have that much in common with a fish."

Anders spluttered a bit. "Whoa. Um, that's good to know, I guess."

"Mmhm," Walter said absently and peeked at Callisto before using his wires to cut open the fish and start cleaning.

Anders set to work on lighting a fire, which was a bit of a challenge since he had to resort to a bow drill to do it. Eventually, though, he got one going.

Sort of.

Walter wandered off to get some large, and presumably not poisonous, leaves to wrap the fish in after rubbing the filets down with salt water. He then stuck the leaf pouches down into the edge of the fire and the slowly developing coals.

"And now we can laze about and do nothing while our food prepares."
