Gentlemen, this is a very serious challenge, 8 of the finest Bushcrafters handpicked, finely tuned survival experts in the land.
And as team leader, i must insist that this in house petty bickering must stop, i know it has been a long haul preparing for this excersise, some of you have not seen your friends and family for months, but remember it will all be worth it in the end, i know some of you are understandably a little anxious, but there are only 9 days to go, and you have all gone through so much, to allow a mere thing like, Ray Webmears turning up with everyday food and luxury items be of concern is more of a mental thing, thrown in to the mix to build character and inner strength.
So back up the gym out in the field dragging tyres, packing and re packing your minimal kit, take an hour off if you need , go for a walk or read a book.
So come on! Lets get with the programme, i am off for a run, to the car from the house it's raining, if i can do so can you!
Ivan...,
Team leader/events coordinator and moral booster...
