Summer Learning Journey Week 1 Day 1 Activity 1

Hello bloggers,
I am so excited to being doing the Summer Learning Journey this year. This first ever activity for the Summer Learning Journey 2019-2020 is about pacific navigators. Pacific natives were exceptional people. In 2017, controller, Nainoa Thompson aged 66, used an ancient Polynesian way finding skill to steer around the entire world. What's even more crazy is he did it in two canoes. If that is not crazy enough, he started his trip around the world in 2013 and landed on Aotearoa in 2015. That's two whole years! So I was asked to provide you with the 10 food items that I would bring on a a boat.

1. Canned beans/lettuce/tuna/meat etc because it wont go rotten for a long time
2. Dried fruits because they are easy to store and are preservable
3. Air sealed food (like chips) as it isn't exposed to any of the elements that would spoil it
4. Raw rice is a good option because it will never rot as long as it is preserved properly
5. Wheat flour because simply adding water and baking it over a fire is a good way of making bread
6. MRE's because they are designed to last a long period of time, and they have dessert!
7. Dry lentils /beans because they last very long dry and are easy to cook
8. Honey because it can help you when you're sick, and it's not exactly unhealthy
9. Ghee (clarified butter) lasts long if you store it correctly and you can use it as an alternative for butter
10. Dried pasta - it is very easy to cook and if you need to, just eat it raw!
11. BONUS - Dried vegetables and fruits because they are healthy, easy to cook and tasty

EXTRA
Tools/other things I would bring

1. An advanced water purifier so I wont run out of water
2. A fishing rod for catching fish so that I have bunches of food and wont starve
3. First aid kid for if I injure myself, I can use it
4. A comfortable hammock with a feathery pillow so I can sleep comfortably
5. Lots of clothes so I can change if my old ones get dirty
6. Books/toys because I might get bored and they would perfectly suit my preference
7. A spear to defend myself against hostile creatures
8. Life jacket or floatie as I may go overboard, and it may save my life
9. An extra mini raft just in case my boat sinks or breaks
10. Finally, an album/journal so I can write about my journey and voyage along the way
