I surprised myself when I was practicing
bow drilling and I managed to make the pine block start to smoke. I didn’t know
I could get that far to make it start smoking. Maybe if I had kept on going I
would have “busted a coal”. I am happy I know enough on how to bow drill
because I could teach a friend or a family member how to do it.
I
know I have gotten stronger because every morning on campus we ether run or do
weight lifting. When we run we go up to an overlook and for weight lifting we
go to the garage of achievers. In the garage there’s a few different machines
like a bench press, chin up bar and a treadmill. Every few weeks we do a
100-yard dash for our fitness test and we also run around the track for four
laps and try to beat our best time. Then after all that we do stretches and sit-ups
or push-ups for 1 minute.
I
am hoping to learn new skills like knots and flint knapping. At our campsite at
the Grand Canyon I tried to make an axe head and it came out okay but not
perfect. I am still trying to master basic knots like trucker’s hitch and the
bolin knot. I’ve surprise myself by gaining better leadership skills. I am
wondering what field skills I’ll learn in the future.
