School of the Sharpshooter

4/22/2020

This year's School of the Sharpshooter went great with lots of time spent on camp and field craft in preparation for the upcoming season. The bulk of our time was spent learning and developing traditional skills. We spent lots of time using our mess gear and experimenting with period recipes and camp fire cooking. Soldiers learned how to make a tripod, gather tinder, make fires with natural tinder bundles, and build a cooking fire. To keep the fires going all night, Pvt. Severson led excellent firewood details where the detail used period lumber tools and learned or improved on traditional wood processing skills. Pvt. Cook really showed his love of lumber work by bucking a big portion of wood by hand with an axe.
After breakfast Saturday morning, we packed up camp and went on our longest march yet, drilling along the way. Drill focused on tactics, deployment, using the terrain, and scouting with battle buddies. Everyone showed great improvement in marching endurance. After a lunch break, we engaged in a very special and never before seen activity which you'll just have to hear about around the camp fire at Cheney. Evenings were spent swapping stories and singing songs around the campfire.
We really enjoyed the time spent learning how to use our gear and develop camp craft. It's low key events like this that provide not only bonding time but opportunities to develop skills and leadership. It was also great to see how we are approaching near 100% authenticity by leaps and bounds. We were so proud to see everyone was able to live entirely out of their knapsacks or bedrolls all weekend. We're so thankful to everyone who could make it and we can't wait to see everyone again at our next event.
Until our next event, stay safe, keep studying, training, and working on your impression.

This is the very first time, I have heard an update about School of the Sharpshooter. If you want your kids to be equipped with survival skills, then you must stick with sending your kids to this school as they will learn several skills that will be b beneficial for them. I remembered watching the movie called “Hunger Games” because it was a survival movie. You will not make it if you don’t know all these camping skills.
