BrentAllen Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Our Crew took our Council's NT Prep Trip program this past weekend. We were able to use nearly all the same equipment - packs, food boxes, tents, canoes - that we will be using at the NT. This was a real eye-opener for us, as none of the crew has been before. On Saturday, we made 4 portages - 1 beaver dam, 2 a little longer and one around a 1/4 mile. Saturday night we set up camp and cooked just like we will on the trip. This weekend really moved us up the learning curve, and we all found gear we could leave at home. 4 months from today we will be waking up from our first night in the BW! http://www.campallatoona.org/pa_tier.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SR540Beaver Posted March 24, 2009 Share Posted March 24, 2009 Brent, Good on ya! Our troop does a high adventure trip every year and sent two crews to NT back in 2007. Our SM had done NT at least once before, so he knew how to put together the shakedowns and get the boys ready. My son absolutely loved it. We have at least one crew going this summer.
