Damping my mood more was yet another day of rain. That’s the problem with camping in a rain forest. Thankfully it lightened up towards the end of the day to the point that I could actually see some of the nearby mountains.
Connor is excited for his wilderness survival merit badge. He spent a lot of his free time gathering materials from the forest that he can use to start his fire (which he needs to start without using a lighter). He’s more concerned about building his fire than he is about spending a night in the shelter he has to build ... although, he is a little concerned about that too.
Connor also had his second visit to the medic in as many days for some small cuts due to his use of his new knife. I’m hoping it will be the last.
