NYAA Skills: Campcraft

14 August 2007
Hours completed: 1 hour
Participants: Nico, Yi Wei

In preparation for the upcoming ATC, the sec 2s and sec 3s had to learn how to pitch a tent. Today, we taught 6 sec 2s, who attended the training, pegging, at the same time, we revised and practiced that skill.

We practiced on how to make sure that the peg is facing the centre of the tent, however, we did not use a tent, instead, we just marked out a certain point as the centre. This could be done by placing one foot such that it points towards the centre. Then, place the other foot perpendicular to the first foot, before the person can start pegging.

We spent the session practicing how to make sure that the peg faces the centre and how to make sure that the angle between the peg and the ground is around 45 degrees. And also, we trained our speed in pegging.
