冬から春へ From Winter to Spring Part 1

先週アウトドア教室とたまり場の機能を果たすアロハロッジを組み立てました。大学もこういうスペースで教えればいいのに、と思ってしまいます。今まで学んできた中で、最高の教育を受けたのは去年（ほとんど）このアロハロッジの中で行われた三週間のパーマカルチャー・デザイン・コースでした。

Last week we put together the Aloha Lodge which functions as a classroom, meeting space, and hangout spot. Very cool. If only university classes were like this. Out of all my educational experiences, I think the most impressive learning I've experienced was the Permaculture Design Course which primarily took place inside this Aloha Lodge.

まずは準備。必要なものを全部並べて働きやすいようにします。
Preparation. Making sure to have all the pieces ready before getting started.


開始。


ピンとテントを張るのが一番大変な作業でした。風に強く、雨を溜めないように上手に紐で各角をアンカーしていきます。何人かロッククライマーの研修生がいて、なれた風に紐を結んでいきました。
Getting the tent to be well anchored was the hardest part of this process. Making sure it was not going to be blown by the wind, and anchoring the edges so rain would not pool on the tent was what we were going for. A few of the interns were quite experienced with knots and they lead the anchoring process.
