Well, I had a great time on the trip. Unfortunately, there was a constant drizzle, and everything was quite wet.

I only tried flint & steel and bow & drill method. the flint was fairly easy to use. I found some dry dead grass and twigs under a tree. i crushed the grass up really fine, and that took a spark fairly easily.

the bow and drill method was a complete flop. As we were working during most of the day, I didn't have much free time in the late afternoon. I think i rushed my preperation. I'll need to have another go at that one.

I didn't try out shelters because of the time factor.

It was very rewarding when one of the guys I didn't really know asked to borroe my "collins gem SAS survival guide" (by john wiseman) to have a look at!
