Hours completed: 1.5 hrs
Participants: Jeremy, YiWei, Sakib, Zhi Yang, Yi An, Nico

To prepare for the tent pitching in ATC, this campcraft session was organised to teach and train the sec 2s how to pitch a tent. The sec 3s who participated could revise and practice their tent pitching skills.

During the session, we practiced the various tent pitching skills such as pegging, tying of the tent guy loop, and also made ourselves more familiar with the procedure of pitching a tent.

However, due to lack of time, we did not pitch a complete tent. (Our tent did not have the outer sheet)

The procedure of pitching a tent is as follows:
1. Attached the horizontal pole to the vertical poles and get two people to hold it such that it is perpendicular to the ground.
2. Place the inner sheet over the poles and tie the 1.5m long twines to the hoops on the inner sheet using a bowline.
3. Determine the peg position and start pegging.
4. Tie the twine onto the peg using the tnet guy loop.
5. Place the outer sheet over the inner sheet.
6. Determine peg position and start pegging again.
7. Tie the outer sheet to the pegs with tent guy loops again.
