With our safety record intact, the youth awoke the next morning a little cold and very hungry! Special congratulations to Aleksander Mell for showing his obvious skill and patience while teaching the younger less experienced youth how to build a proper shelter.
Survivalists included Hälli Puust, Kaisa Kasekamp, Felix Tamm, Aidan Meipoom, Hunter Meipoom, Sten Puust and Aleksander (Sass) Chandler-Long. Absent was Markus “Margoose” Hogg however the youth made sure to care for his special “Goose” mascot and shared a moment via skype with the young man who is currently in the hospital. They should all be congratulated!
Juhtide töö
While the youth worked throughout the day on their shelters, the Leaders were tasked with two different projects that included a log cabin base structure and a wood fired hot tub. The log cabin is destined to be a warming station for the remote Uudismaa location in anticipation of future cold weather camps. The design will be very reminiscent of another cabin built on site years ago behind the existing sauna.
The wood fired heated bath was an example of engineering and simple thermodynamics offered through the use of simple materials, the challenge of reaching 38°C or 100°F was achieved!
