took my 15 year old Nephew camping for a quick overnight Just before New years..
he's done some campground camping with the scouts but this was his first back woods trip
the abundance of coyotes we had chattering around us set hin on edge for a bit but thats SOP here.
My buddy Chris came along just so I had another adult, in case something happened to me, It was cold about 25 deg F, but we all had an awesome time
here are some pics
While I got the shelter up my nephew worked on fire prep.. he did well, Here he is trying a flint and steel
than building up a blaze
here was the first incarnation of the shelter
Later the wind shifted and it started to spit some freezing rain so it through my poncho over the other side to give a little bit more protection
Wouldn;t you know after that it cleared up
some scenery
dinner consisted of hotdogs beans and cinnamon bannock and hot choclate.. didn't want to scare him off the first time out
after dinner we putzed around with some camp craft he took his first crack at a spoon which turned out pretty well untill it broke Here is is as the bowl is burning in
no knife pics but for all the knife guys out there
the mvp as usual was my Mora carbon companion
also had a GB axe, camillus bk9
Honestly despite the temperature there was so much downed wood we barely used the axe at all.
my nephew had a Mora clipper and a condor bushcraft 5
