The fourth challenge is to find a supply of food and a way to keep the survivors fed until help arrives. Ben and Hector decided to take advantage of the trees to get coconuts and fruit native to this island. Upon investigation our young explorers located some wild chickens that could provide fresh protein and also eggs. Their food trap will be designed to trap the chickens. It has an automatic door that closes after the chickens are lured inside.
Some chicken food is used as the bait.
A tree can be a good source of food. Ben and Hector built a ladder to gain access to the food at the top of this tree. Hector drew the designs for the food plan. This design shows the ladder next to the tree. Comparing the actual ladder to the virtual one.
