My Actifit Report Card: March 14 2021

Today, for my activity, my son and I went into the woods to live as men of wilderness. We resigned ourselves to risk our lives to prove that we could make it on our own. I'm not going to lie, it got a little shaky out there in nature. We didn't know if we were going to make it out alive. We pushed through though, and in the end, we conquered the elements and made it back to our family.

Ok, ok, ok. In actuality, we went for a short walk in the woods and decided to take a little detour and build a makeshift primative shelter.

I'm not a woodsman or survivalist or anything of the sort. However, my son wanted to learn how to build a fort, so we got together and figured it out. It was really primative and not super functional, but it only took us about 45 minutes to make.

We basically made a ridgeline from a tree that recently fell from the weight we had in our recent ice storm. Since it was still fresh, it was nice and strong unlike most of the other half-rotten branches we pulled from the forrest floor. Once we had the ridgeline, we just leaned a bunch of sticks on it to make a quick lean-to shelter. After the sticks were placed, we just piled a bunch of leaves and pine needles on top to add some insulation. If we were really going to try to sleep here, we'd have to do a lot more work to make it comfortable, but it looked ok for only taking 45 minutes of light work.

All in all, it was just nice to be able to get out there with my boy and play in the woods like I did when I was a kid. I wouldn't be surprised if he has me out there more often in the summertime. We'll have to see about that.

I'm also including a screenshot of my fitbit dashboard since I completed of 4 of my fitness goals today.
