The £10 Challenge

[ESL Jake]

So this elsewhere thought it could be fun. Apologies if this has been done before.

You have to produce a survival kit for £10 or less
You must be able to start fire -
You must be able to make shelter-
Have provision for two meals-
and it must be waterproof to the point that it can be submerged in water for 60 seconds

Lets see who can get it the cheapest....

 

[ESL Jake]

so here is mine-

Poncho 2 pack £1 - shelter and fashioned into waterproof cover for all
2 x emergency blanket from Poundland £1 -shelter
Ball of String 50p - shelter
Matches 30p
Candle 50p- to coat match heads
Beans with Sausages two for a £1 - this gives me cooking pot and cup
first aid kit £1
Knife Set of 8 £1

Thats £6.30 and I have extras and all from one store.

Keep the tenner in a plastic bag then go to Wetherspoons in a 'survival situation'.
