Overnight?

Overnight?

Can be cold up there in November.

I would assume they would have their regular camping gear and could keep their sleeping bags, ground pads and extra cloths. Give each patrol a couple of medium size chunks of plastic and some 550 cord.

Shake down Saturday morning for food items, then some basic classes fire making, shelter, signals and food/animal prep. Then move each patrol to it's own area and have them make shelter, fire and a signal.

Don't know how well a "Kill Class" would go over but to get the idea you could go around to each patrol and drop off a couple of dressed rabbits or chickens before supper.

While not "hard core" it will make them think on how to add the plastic pieces together to make a shelter, fire with a metal match is always fun and what to do with some big chunks of meat.

Firewood goes fast in November. Will they get enough to last the night
