Mina recently took a cool shelter building class. Mina, dressed fully in pink, joined several boy scouts for this lecture. The idea was to build a shelter with materials found only in the woods, assuming that you have no backpack or supplies. The class focused on building a debris shelter which, if properly made, could allow a child lost in the Pacific Northwest to survive overnight.
Mina learning to quickly gather large bunches of leaves with her feet. A good shelter takes over two hours to make.
The end result. Well, it could use a little work but you get the idea. So did Mina. She LOVED the class. One cool fact that we learned – kids should wear white underwear while camping. Out of all the clothing on your body, underwear can be spared and would act as a perfect flag on your debris shelter.
