Aghhh first overnight in Jegersberg I waited this for so long… Thursday, weather is like from fairytale I’m with good mood going with Tadas to Jegersberg “Green field” where we will meet our groupmates, lecture and ofcourse we will spend all night here.

It is not the first time when we are here it was place where we started to learn skying. So we came to that place first, because it was not so far away from civilization (1 km to University of Agder) and we came from home earlier.
Our tasks for today:

1) Prepare and give a game or task which will increase group cohesion.
It was a lot of funny games like babushka(floreen game), brother save me(Tadas game) and others.

Talking about my game “Cross the lava” I think the main problem why it wasn’t so good because I forgot one of the most important rule that each member need to cross it lava differently , and I helped them to figure-out how to cross it, so YES it was my fault, but now I learn this lesson and I know that It will not happen again.

2)build a camp

So the second task was to build a shelter and choose a good place for that and after all you need to discuss with your lecture and prove why this place is good to set up a shelter. Our team choose good place where to set up the camp.
Here is some tips how to find a good campsite, how to protect shelter from environmental threats:

One more thing is environmental resistance when you sleep in the shelter. I need my shelter to protect me from environmental threats and annoyances, namely rain snow, or sleet- which can fall vertically, be blown horizontally, or cover the ground- along with wind and insects if exposed to precipation and wind, I will lose heat through conduction and convection. If left vulnerable to insects, I will struggle to get a good night rest , at a minimum. Fortunatelly we used the tents this time.

3) prepare a dinner from products, which Len gave us.
The last task was given to each group. Every group Had a chance to decide what kind of ingriedients they will take . The priority of choosing food was decided by first task which group was the best,which was second and so on. I was in group with Roman, Kirby and Tadas. We were very good at the first task so we chose second, we took a fish and some vegetables. We create a masterpiece from this ingriedients-Fish soup, Ough my god it was very tasty!
Later we presented our food and compete against other groups. Unfortunatelly we doesn’t won, but our bowl was empty , not like most of the groups.

After that all together as a family spend some hours being near camfire and eating marsmallows

All in all, I really liked this overnight trip I learned a lot, I think group dynamic games and making dinner together made us more cohesion , my relations with others became stronger, with some of them we became better friends.
