Next tent deployment is fixed in an open pasture srrounded by mixed pine and oak forest. I can only use what I bring to insulate, rainproof, or windproof the tent - no foraging or alternate site selection. It is forecast to rain for the two-and-a-half-day event and for temperature to range from the low 50s to the low 30's.

The good news is that I have a full-ride scholarship to the survival skill session!

I may be spending a night in a debris hut.

[Why do I keep thinking of pom-poms?]
