We got back from the survival camp a few minutes ago. We spent 24 hours learning to survive in the wild. The best bit?
Building a shelter from trees (no,you can’t take a tent)!
Anna 13.42 p.m.
It was a difficult experience for me. If you aren't very fit, you should do some training before you go. The worst bịt was the food – we lit a fire and cooked a rat on it! The apples we found were nicer.
Grace 17.52 p.m.
Fantastic weekend! The most useful thing was leaning how to find safe drinking water. If you take too many things, your bag will be too heavy. Leave your phone at home, but take spare clothes.
Tom 19.22 p.m.
I was the laziest person in my family, but if I have a chance to go again, I definitely will. I loved every moment! You should wear comfortable boots, but don’t take a sleeping bag – the instructor will give you one.
