Today was Jerky Day! Jerky Day at LVI is a longstanding tradition where every crew comes together, cuts slabs of beef, trims them, and puts them in marinade to marinate. It is a lengthy process where you have to trim all pieces of fat of the beef, and put them in a bucket. If someone were to catch you wasting precious beef and putting it into the fat bucket, they could dump it… it only happened once to us. The guys also partook in another longstanding tradition, honoring a slab of beef, they chose to honor it to the Johnson Crew, this means they are going to be going on a crew date! The boys made quick work of the beef, made such good time they actually had to donate it to other crews!

On Sunday we went over a whole assortment of stuff, firstly we went over our kettle pack. Our kettle pack houses some of the most important stuff for the crew, tarps, rope, water filters, etc. We walked the guys over what each does, and we gave a quick demonstration of the stoves, which may prove to be very necessary this summer… anyways we showed them how to set up a tarp, and how to pack the kettle. They gave a crack at packing the kettle, and they did a great job at it! Afterwards we set up our tents, and did a little impromptu tent repair. Afterwards we went for a quick paddle, and called it a day!
