Day 5 - Survival

After our Beef Burger lunch, we went into the woods and sat under a tent for our Survival activity. We began by thinking about how long we could survive on a desert island if we could take only one thing with us. Most people said knives or an axe but later realised we could make these from stones and wood.

After that, we were split into three groups and given a sheet and it was our job to go off and build a shelter by tying it to the trees and using wood to give it support. Then, we found logs and stones to make a fire area and seating.

Lastly, we went back into the tent and used a flint to make a fire. Our instructor explained the fire triangle to us and then we had a go too.
