Wilderness Survival (Fire Starting)

Preparation is everything.

 Making the nest for the fire.

 A nice nest for flint and steal.

 Learning the ropes.

 The Bow and Drill not an easy thing to do.

 Even the Young Women gave it a try.

We had a great time learning how to make fire with flint and steal and a bow and drill.   We learned how to make char cloth and cooked some food on rocks.   Next step taking our skills to the wild.

Youth Conference

                                                              Having fun on the tubes.

  Morgan designed these rafts that the youth put together to go out on the lake (They did not make it in tacked.)   The leaders made it out and back with no problem.

                                               The group ready to go on the Green River.

 The nastiest sandwich ever made!  It had peanut butter, ham, turkey, mayo, mustard, honey, lettuce, tomato's, pickles, apples, grapes, and banana laffy taffy.  I think that was it?

                                                                Having fun in the boat.

  We just had a great week at youth conference.  We went to Flaming Gorge with the Young Women. We had a blast. We wake boarded, tubed, played in the water, ran the river,  and had lots of spiritual experiences. We have the best youth in the whole church. Thank you to all the leaders especially Sean and Kerei for all the time that was put in to it. It was an awesome trip.

The Lions Club

This last week the Scouts, went to the Lions club and shot shotguns, bow and arrows, and 22 rifles. It was a blast. There was a smudge on the lense of the camera. Sorry!

 Don't mess with the Penguins.

Josh Child

     Josh just received his Eagle Scout award.  He had his Court of Honor at the end of our 50 miler.  You can tell how much he has grown from these pictures.  He is a great scout and we miss him.  

Escalante 50 Miler 2011

This year we went to Escalante and had a blast.  The first 2 days we were really tested on endurance and strength.  We looked like we had the chicken pox from the bugs eating us alive. 

Day 2

   Day 3 and 4 we spent in Coyote Gulch after a few miles of desert we found the river bottom and hiked in our bare feet.  It was beautiful.  We camped at Jacob's Arch.  Day 4 we finished early so we bought inner tubes and went down the spill way.

Day 4 we finished early so we bought inner tubes and went down the spill way.  Warren went down with out a tube and ripped his swim trunks.  (Ha Ha.)  Day 5 we did a day hike through 3 different slot canyons: Spooky, Peek a Boo, and Brimstone.
