February 18





Yesterday ended with practical examinations covering map and compass, emergency shelter construction (second photo, with Savannah and Jenna at their station), and a "splint-off", with students competing for the best splints, based on criteria like functionality, durability, simplicity, versatility and aesthetics. In the bottom photo, Liam is using a scripted description of his tib/ fib splint to add impact. It helped, and his splint was excellent, but as of this morning his group remained tied for second. At this moment, Andrea and Fernando are teaching UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) grids and improvised femur traction splint construction. Those pictures are the two at the top of this post. The photo of the trees is this morning's sunrise.
