My homework for the weekend was to go out and build a bush shelter. Excitement built in my head as my thoughts turned to the obvious idea, "If I build a shelter, I might as well sleep in it." So I rassled up 5 other friends from school and we went out winter camping. These are some pictures of the lean to I built. Hopefully I will get some more pictures of the camp from the others that went. The day was warm so we got a little bit wet but nothing a fire could not dry out. Everyone else opted to sleep beside a fire with their shelters but I decided it would not be cold enough to warrant a fire for myself. I think it only went down to around minus 15. I would have slept like a log, except for the creaking birch tree that loomed above my head and kept threatening to make a pancake out of me and my dog. Now that the shelters are built though we will probably head back there for some ice fishing and camping. this time round we only had enough time to build shelters until the darkness came and it was time to throw verbal bullshit at one another across the flames.
