Each Patrol will need to bring poles for lashing and rope. In the morning patrols will learn skills needed to lash together camp gadgets. In the afternoon patrols will see examples of camp gadgets that can be lashed together as well as bushcraft skills. They will then use this information to create their own camp gadgets. Patrols will also lash a tripod to use to cook a portion of their dinner. Awards will be given to the patrols with the best or most unique camp gadgets.
