We had a successful crew meeting today! We first started off with a review of some of the knots we will be using on trail, and then got some practice on rewrapping the p cord neatly. Right afterwards we tackled the food menu for our trip. Connor and I briefly went over what each meal would look like (ie a lunch will have a bread, candy bar, nuts, etc) and then we let them tackle it! They took time thinking through each choice logically, and letting everyone weigh in on what they would and wouldn’t like. Then a lengthy talk of whether or not they would like to go for the hot chocolate record (60lbs of hot chocolate!!!).
Right after we loaded up our dehydrator into my car to take to Caleb’s house (Thank you to the Thompsons for keeping the dehydrator at their house) and while we were doing that, Henry found a toad! We drove over to the Caleb’s house, and unloaded and prepared the dehydrator. The dehydrator is important piece of our preparation because without it, we couldn’t dehydrate our food we’d be eating. Afterwards we explained how to use it, and some of the expectations and responsibilities for the crew moving forwards!
