This week I made a medal that coach Brody won at the Olympics. I designed the medal in my artbook and drew it on a piece of paper then I laminated it then I put a piece string on it so I could put it around my neck.

Clove hitch

This term we have been doing Whetu survivor This week I have been  doing knots we have been practicing knot for survival

This is a clove hitch knot. I think I would use a clove hitch knot for tying something up to the tree of camping
The difficulty of making this knot was A 5/5 because it was simple and I can do this knot whenever and I can do it with my eyes closed.

Butterfly knot

This is A butterfly knit that I did In Whetu survivor this term.

I would use the butterfly knot if I am putting up a tent or camping I thought at first the butterfly knot was hard but when I tried it It wasn't so hard The difficulty for me making the butterfly knot is 4/5 for me because it was a little tricky. this is a link to a website that I found lots of knots to do 

Reef knot

                                                                Reef knot

This term we have been doing Whetu survivor. This is a reef knot I did 3 knots and I made them into A blogpost for our Whetu survivor.

I think I would use the reef knot to use if I went camping. and if my clothes got wet I could make a clothesline. I practiced A bit until I did the knot but I got there in the end and I did it.

The difficulty I have with this knot was 5/5 because it was a simple knot Because I tried doing it with my eyes closed. I found A link to a website that had a lot of knots to do.

                           

Survival task reflection

                                                         Shelter Building 

The difficult thing was making the tarpaulin tent because we tried sticking the sticks in the holes with the tarpaulin because we thought it would stick but it didn't.

The easy thing was making the tent because we followed the instructions and we made the tent quickly. 

The key skill I learned was if  I went coming I know how to survive and make a shelter.

I would rate resilience a 5 because I didn't give up and I took my time.

Build A Shelter!

The two types of shelters we chose were:

1. Simple Tarp Shelter
2. Dugout shelter

We chose the simple tarp shelter because when hiking tarp is very light and won’t hold you back to much. We also chose it because you can feel close to nature when you are in it. 

We chose the dugout shelter because all you need is just a knife to cut the branches into the right side and a shovel to use the dirt for it and it will be nice and damp on hot days.

We think that a simple tarp shelter would be good for a tent because it is light to carry and would be easy to travel with. 

We think that dugout shelter would be good for a tent because all you need is two things which is a shovel and a knife

Pros for the simple tarp shelter are that you can connect with nature when sleeping. Also, a tarp is hard to damage so you can get multiple uses out of it. 

Pros for the dug out shelter are that you need only need two things for it which is a knife and a shovel

Cons for the simple tarp shelter are it’s only tarp so it might get cold when you are sleeping. Also it’s plastic so it’s bad for the environment. 

Cons for the dugout shelter is that you need to dig for dirt.

Our favourite part about simple tarp shelter is that it’s hard to break and can be used multiple times.

                                                        Shelter Building

This week I have been working on a  project on how to make a shelter in the wilderness.
The best place to build a shelter is on higher ground and somewhere where it is clear so if you got hurt badly someone can find you and not on a slope.
Shelter protects you from the wind, rain, sun, and snow. If you did.nt have shelter and say it was snowing badly and the snow got high then you would freeze.
If you were building a shelter in the wilderness you would want to use tarpaulin, rope and something you would need to put the rope on.
A good place to sleep in the wilderness and in a shelter because if there was really heavy rain and then there was flooding how would you sleep.
