Cooking fire maps
COOKING, FIRE, MAPS
Today we had three rotations Cooking, making a fire set and look at maps. The first thing that the xtreme team did was cooking, we had done the planning first so we got do it first first we make the bananas to make them is at the bottom we made the bananas first and another group did the potatoes first we did not cut out the top Ava and Mrs begley did it we put marshmallow into it and chocolate then tinfoil. Then the potatoes cut halfway through then cut like a square but do not pull it out then we got to put ham and cheese then the tinfoil. After we did the maps the maps was the hardest because calin had the map and he stayed at a location where it said that there was a clue we stayed there for like 10 minutes then he finally gave up we found four clues. After time was up Ollie came and got us to tell us to come back. Finally we did the fire making we were the last group to have a chance to set up a fire and do the flint and steel we did an alright fire we did not do a real fire because of safety.

BUSH SURVIVAL
BUSH SURVIVAL
To start off if you are flying over the New zealand bush and your plane gets hijacked by terrorists trying to make a name for themselves. (but there is not a lot of attacks in NZ) You get a parachute and jump fly into and tree and get a big cut on your arm and bleeding. To stop a blood wound put pressure on it if it is a small one put your finger over it and wait a few minutes a big cut rip your shirt your into a square if possible then wrap it around then tie a knot a strong knot.
To get to the point.
BUSH SURVIVAL
The S.T.O.P acronym are:
(Stop) what you are doing
(Think) where you are
(Observe) the area around you
(Plan) where you are going to do
FIRE
To start a fire it needs to be somewhere where it won't make a forest fire and where the wind won't blow it out it the ground is soft grab two logs first log is going in the ground so point it down then start hitting it till it is kind of half way then again. find some dry bark and You will need tinder, kindling, and logs. Grab a small ish stick make sure it is strong then put two logs one on the left and right then little ones in the middle put the tinder between the two logs and go back and forth with your hands.
WATER
To find water you would look for plants and animal tracks they will always know where water is because they have lived in that area that you are in. And swarming insects when you pause to rest Bring and filter, is a good idea. Running water is better than still water because the bugs are moving in still water they will stay and more and more will come from the running water downstream is where the ocean will be.
FIRST AID
For first aid if you are bleeding put pressure on the wound to stop it after a few 10-15 minutes take your hand away when you are putting pressure on and blood is still coming put it down harder.
If it is a big cut rip your shirt up into a square then wrap it around it tight
SIGNAL FOR HELP
This one is pretty easy all you would do is do some stones in you where on a beach Signal Using Smoke and Fire
Use of a Mirror or Any Reflective Surface
Sending an Audio Signal Creating Ground to Air Signals
Using a Satellite Phone Using Personal locator beacons Making Use of Ground Markers

To build a shelter you would need a strong base like a cave or a fallen tree for a fallen tree grab some logs and put it against it and for a cave try to make a door with small logs and rope there is hundred of more shelters and I can't tell you all of them because it would take to long and I have a deadline.

Shelter building
Shelter building
With my team and I we have made a shelter that can be used in a life or death situation. The hardest pit was again working as a team the easiest was putting the rope in the holes on the side of the tarp we used 4 rocks, 1 tarp, 1 rope and the entry of the max'in maze structure. People should always know how to tie one little know at least. The wind was a pain and it kept on blowing the rocks off the tarp and the rocks were very light. The angle that it is on will help it let the wind go over because of its form the wind will go straet off it and the person inside will be alright for the night. The biggest fear you would have in New Zealand is mosquito or the water. (flash floods) We kind of worked as a team I would give team kowhai a 3 out of 5 because we need to get rid of or difference and work as a team. What worked well was the rope getting it to stay and not move. Hunters will use shelters like this, hunters will maybe make a bigger one so they could fit there gear and there friends that are going with them they might even buy a tent or a sleeping bag instead of spending a long time making shelter.

Tent building
TENT BUILDING
Today we have made a one person tent with my group Mia, Calin, Bella, Payton and I. The most challenge we had to face was working as a team, We loved the tent building and working as a team. The best thing about camping is marshmallows and camping in a unknown area with your friends away from wifi and noisy neighbors. And going hiking while camping

Shelter building
SHELTER BUILDING
The best place to build a shelter is in between two trees or under a tree because, the tree will brevide a strong structure for you Then you could find some big tree branches to put on the log. A shelter needs to protect you from mosquitoes, because they can transmit viruses through biting you, and rain because you body temperature if you body is not warm it makes you sick. And wind if you don't have good sleep you will also be sick. You could use sticks logs leafs and your hands to make a shelter. You would need to sleep in the most reliable spot in the tent and put leafs as a mattress and put dirt around the sticks or stones to support the structure.

The Scientific name: Metrosideros excelsa
Metrosideros excelsa, with common names pōhutukawa, New Zealand pohutukawa, New Zealand Christmas tree, New Zealand Christmas bush, and iron tree, is a coastal evergreen tree in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae,that produces a brilliant display of red flowers made up of a mass of stamens
1. Choose a site that receives direct sunlight each day and is not crowded by other trees and vegetation. Plant the tree far away from buildings and pipes because the roots have been known to cause severe damage to homes and foundations.
2. Dig a hole 3 inches wider and deeper than the root ball of the pohutukawa tree. Fill the bottom 3 inches of the hole with soil, and water it until moist. Place the root ball into the hole and fill in the surrounding areas with soil.
3.
Cover a 3-foot radius around the trunk of the tree with cedar mulch to retain moisture and prevent the growth of weeds. Water the tree until the soil is soaked.
4. Water the tree once every two or three days in the first growing season. This will help the tree remain strong and establish itself faster.
5. Fertilize the tree by spreading a handful of bone meal and blood meal around the base of the tree in the spring.
6. Prune back any damaged or diseased branches as they appear, and discard them to prevent the spread of disease to the rest of the tree. Prune back growth during the winter to shape the tree and give it a bushier appearance.
Things You Will Need
- Shovel
- Sand
- Compost
- Bone meal
- Blood meal
- Mulch
- Hose
- Pruners
Tips
- Pohutukawa trees tolerate many soil types as long as the drainage is good. If the drainage of the soil is poor, mix sand into the topsoil before planting. Mix a few handfuls of bone meal and blood meal fertilizer as well as rich compost into the soil.
- Pohutukawa trees are best planted in large rural lots far away from buildings and other structures -- not in urban areas.

Cc week 2 Creation station
This week I have been working on my Chapter Chat creation station with Castles shoes old and new. And with what will help him run and not and what is safe and not safe. Bad shoes: These shoes are not safe because they are falling apart and could cause Castle to trip and hurt himself. They also have no support for his foot and ankle when he is running. These shoes are too small which is bad for his feet, the laces are old and rotting. Good shoes: the grips on the sole will help castle run on the track. They look smart, now castle won't get teased. They have good laces and they won't come loose. They are the right size, ahd give him good support. He should be able to run faster.

Totara Springs Camp
Camp is so close and it going to be so fun and what I am wanting to do is abseiling and going down because it would help some people to get over their fear of heights. And rock climbing but one of the things that I want to see is the cabins and how they are because I have seen Makayla's cabin. And I wonder what our cabins will be like. And I am Nervous about what we would be doing and is there is going to be a fight like at Lake Taupo. I am most looking forward to is archery and seeing who can get dead r center.
