lots of us will have read of American scouts relying on little equipment to discover the America we know now. these men have always been an inspiration to me and I thought that a challenge would be a good homage to them.
my challenge is this. with the following generic kit list spend two consecutive nights out. construct aleast one camp gadget. survive. enjoy yourself.
disclaimer-this is being run by me not as a moderator but as a member. bcuk has no connection to the challenge
kit list
2 wool blankets or one bedroll.
waterproof tarp.
knife
axe or saw. only one of them.
flint and steel.
tinder box
water bottle
billy can.
cup.
spoon
food
lighting preferably candle but torch is ok.
basic water filter. ie mill bank bag or the likes
rucksack to carry items in. more kudos to those who do not use a pack
if for whatever reason you cannot have an open fire either a stove or fire box is fine.
if water is not safe or readily available at usual site then an extra five litres is permitted
safety items
phone.
first aid kit
camera to take photos
there are NO prizes this time it's a challenge not a comp. it's for fun. please consider personal safety at all times doing this challenge if it's too cold or miserable there is no reason to slog it out unnecessarily. sufferings not why we go out to play
anyone game for it?
