Rock Creek Park

Claire and I biked over to Rock Creek park today. We just hung out and worked on some fox walking, wide angle vision, and a trap. The edible plants are really everywhere. We saw chickweed, greenbrier, bearberry?, and we're working on identifying some more. I chased after a deer (barefoot) and tracked it for a good ways until I came across it and four other deer. I tried not to look at them and used the wide angle vision. They got used to me after a while and I just sat down and chilled while they kind of walked around me. We definitely want to work on a shelter next semester that people can go up to whenever. Matt, maybe in the fall we could work on a spot to make some kind of larger shelter like the one Bill showed us.

Opening Post

I'm delighted to open this blog for students at GU and near Washington, DC. We just completed our first class with 10 students graduating and are looking forward to offering more classes for the GU community in fall 2007.

This blog is a place where students can post stories, questions and pictures for each other and anyone who is interested in sharing our experiences. I will serve as moderator for now, and also post new course announcements, class reports, and other information that might be useful for budding students of nature and survival.

I hope this forum will serve as a meeting place for your information and curiosity, and help to keep us all connected as we continue to learn and explore in our own ways.

Best of luck and happy posting!

-Matt
