Right!! Please read, this is a 48 HOUR CHALLENGE!! With a 24 hour rat pack.......
Hello, good people, i have an idea for a bit of fun, i propose a challenge for up to 6 people, including myself that is.
You will arrive at a secret location, a small private wood, i have exclusive use of, on the edge of Dartmoor, to exist purely on a British army issue 24 hour ration pack (supplied by me, coz i am nice like that!)
The Rules, ( i will make most of these up as i go along and my decision is final,although i will consider input and ideas, especially if i have forgotten something!)
We meet at a designated spot, the rat packs will be distributed, no choosing menus, pot luck as they will be covered and sealed.
We will then walk to the wood, approx 1/4 mile, and set about our monumental survival test!
You can only take with you what you can carry in one trip, you are allowed one luxury item eg. Tobacco, alcohol, tea, coffee, fizzy drink etc, but it must be carried in the one trip.But no other foodstuffs and that includes chocklit!
Once you have opened your rat pack, you can swop items with other guests, if it suits.There is running water at the site, but a lot of it is field runoff, so i would suggest boiling/steritab or carry your own, all in the one trip.
You are not allowed to leave the wood for the 48 hour period (medical emergency, homesick are excused)
Sounds easy i know, a lot of people that come to my meets don't leave the wood for days, but most need to go to the shop, or walk etc.There will be no leaving site.
There is firewood in abundance, and we will have one central fire, all litter and waste is to be taken away or burned.
There will be a kit weigh in, and the member of the group that come lightest, most minimal, and is judged by me to have coped the best, eg making own cutlery, and other bushy things will win a small prize.
I am running out of things to say now, so the first 5 people to confirm, have a place.
There is a £5.00 charge (for the farmer, unavoidable)
And just the date to decide, but it will be in the next month, so pleas bear that in mind before putting your name down.
Any questions etc, just ask.
