Knife Safety

Carving session during the Be a Survivor I camp at the Squam Lake Natural Science Center

It’s an interesting thing to watch your game plan morph into something else seemingly opposite.  At this stage I was thinking we would be halfway through a classic Mors Try Stick.  Some of the students are carving spears to overthrow the Wolf Queen and others just want to find out how sharp a stick can get.  But when I look at the students in this photo, I see them following our knife safety rules, carefully carving what they need to be carving in this moment.
