My side of the mountain

I taught this book a few years ago and to get students involved I had them create their own refuge in the mountain. They were going to have to bring some supplies from home that the would need to survive out in the mountains. They set everything up and we would talk about what it would be like if we did this in the real world. Would they be able to survive like our character in the book.
We go on to do research on what plants we can find in the wild that are edible and what else we would need to survive.
