SOMETIME IN THE FUTURE, WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO DO SOMETHING LIKE THIS? JUST PACK IN BASIC STUFF, RATION OUR FOODS/WATERS ETC. HAND BUILD SHELTERS, OR USE WHAT WE CARRIED IN FOR ONE, BUILD A FIRE ETC. USING AGAIN, ONLY WHAT WE CARRIED IN, NO TENTS, LIMITED FOOD/WATER ETC. MAKE THINGS BY HAND. NOT ONLY WOULD IT BE FUN, BUT TEACH US SOMETHING TOO *STSHTF*

been there done that!! When I did this outing all we were told was it was a backpacking trip. got there, had us drop our packs in the cabin. had us dress for a evening hike. Out hiking we came opon a tent out in the middle of noware, this is wear they told us what we were to do. They gave us a 4x8ft peice of plastic, one orange, slice of bread, a stirofoam cup and 1 match. we topped off our canteens and were dropped off through out the woods and it was dark! they took our flashlights and said they would be back to pick us up some time the next day? I think I was 16 or 17 at the time.. the boy scouts were cruel!!!

SINCE THERE IS A TENT HERE IS WHAT I'D DO.... PLASTIC....EITHER DIG A HOLE IN THE GROUND, PLACE A CUP/BOWL/SOMETHING TO COLLECT DEW WITH IN THE HOLE UNDER THE PLASTIC.PLACE ROCKS ON THE PLASTIC UP TOP TO KEEP THE ROCK/WEIGHT THAT YOU WILL PUT INTO THE MIDDLE OF THE PALSTIC TO WEIGHT IT DOWN SO THE CONDENSATION INSIDE DRIPS INTO THE CUP.
THE MATCH, GET TINDER, KINDLING AND WOOD READY. START A FIRE WITH THE TINDER, ADDING TO THE KINDLING THEN THE WOOD.
THE ORANGE? NOT SURE??? RATION IT OUT? USE THE ACID TO CLEAN WOUNDS? THE PEEL IS GOOD FOR SOMETHING, JUST FORGOT WHAT.
BREAD, SAMETHING??? RATION??
CUP? THE CUP I MENTIONED??

The tent was not for us! Leaders stayed there. We were supervised, but no interaction.!

Sounds good to me Cory...I might justt do the same. After seeing Jerry's "trunk" fail on our last camp/ride, i will not be taking one of those.
