Wilderness Survival October 2012

The October outing on the Stubblefield farm was windy and buggy, and really fun.  The boys essentially finished the merit badges, and those that had the badge were lost in the back 40 acres for a day, much to the dismay of Timmy the snake.  Thanks to ASM Paul for putting this great trip together.

The boys ford the Stubblefield creek to the backcountry.

Building Camp Bamboo

Just across the creek a bamboo hut takes shape

Building, and everything else, stops once there's a fire.

After surviving the night, one scout builds a wrap made entirely of pepperoni, chips and oreos.

Celebrating a birthday with this group means you get carried around in odd ways.
