You should do a challenge where you have 5 minutes inside your house to grab everything unprepared, simulating an emergency situation, and you have to survive for 24 hours with just what you grabbed. That seems like a good challenge.

Not cheating at all using the firebowl. So, found it interesting. Hope you don't mind me giving my take on it..cooking the beans first would have given you another cooking pot. Duct tape a bottle lid to a stick would have given you a small spoon. The biggest thing, I think buying a roll of black bin bags was the thing most needed. Duct tape a couple to your tarp to make it bigger. Fill a couple with dry leaves and tape them shut. Keep the bugs inside lol.. Makes a good browse bag. This type of challenge, bin bags and Duct tape should be default items. Waterproof clothing by the way too.

These challenges are interesting because you show different ways to solve basic camping problems. Most of us will have better items of equipment at home. So much can just be borrowed from our Mum's kitchen drawers. So many of us already have put together starter kits that will function well for many years. My TAKEAWAY: read the labels carefully. Buy pure water and the right size tarp. Take a 'right sized' pot and lid from home.

For those who want to try a survival challenge like this one and would like to avoid any accidental spills/burns when cooking/boiling 1st solution, dig a hole, place your fire bowl in the hole, light fire, place green sticks (green sticks dont burn that fast) across hole, like a grate. Tie string across pot loops/latches then you can put pot of water upon grate for cooking. Place 2 sticks or 1 half of Y branch between string and pot, for easy lifting once water is at a boil or use sticks for side handles. 2nd solution, have a tri pod set up over fire to boil water. Either one shall work and would prevent tip over problems or burns. Good job.

The Tarp, most bushcrafters ignore the Shower Curtain section for their tarp. At one point the Dollar Trees [US] carried a heavy weight shower curtain that is 5 feet by 6 feet... a decent sized tarp. You could have used the duct tape, to make your tarp a little larger, as well. The little 'toggles' that closed your pot, I would have run a stick through them to make a handle for the pot. Or, the string could have been used as a handle, but not the best. I would also have made a simple sheath for the scissors with the duct tape. Another fun episode, thanks for attempting it. ANOTHER FAVORITE CHALLENGE IN THE US, IS TO GO TO A THRIFT SHOP/RESALE SHOP TO FIND YOUR CAMPING GEAR.

I used to work in a Poudland a couple years back. It's sometimes pretty interesting...and horrifying, what you can find. I was in a smaller one but it's good to consider the seasonal stock rotation. When all the summer products come out you can even find bungie cords and other kinds of cooking pots. This is also great at showing that if you've got a pretty secure area, you don't really need all that much for a night out.

I guess the difference is that you have done it by choice, but still, respect for actually doing it and putting theory into practice and maybe giving people ideas for low cost solutions. In practical terms, you could have used the cardboard and carrier bag as insulation under your fleece and the plastic packaging as a really effective firelighter but a great practical breakdown of the kit. In terms of ideas, maybe try and do this for longer term with the same kit...? All the best, Andy

Take no food or water and 5 items. Build a shelter, find and purify water, find food and process as needed. Make it 3 days 2 nights eating at least twice a day. You can highlight foraging and bushcraft shelters and maybe even alternate fire starting methods. I've done it as a 60 yrs old Grandma, , I'm sure you can do it too.😊

I used to take my daughters camping from 2-12 or so. Now they’re 22 and 25. Hate camping, but LOVE what they still call ‘camping pasta’! Our 3 year old grandson gets to eat ‘camping pasta’ now too!!

Yep that was fun! 👏 Not a survival challenge but I always find myself wondering why you are yet to bless your woods with a treehouse or hide, I think that it would be something I could not resist? 😁 Great post 👏 Like deployed 👍

ECONOMIC INFLATION: The way I see it is that regardless of the currency utilized (gold, silver, fiat, crypto, etc), economic inflation is still economic inflation. ANY economic inflation over previous economic inflation, overtime, eventually becomes exponential economic inflation. If an entities' wages, benefits and investments do not keep up with the true cost of inflation, then the entity falls behind in buying power and becomes poorer. A nation will eventually fail as will a global economy will eventually fail with ever increasing economic inflation because most people do not have wages, benefits and investments that keep up with the true cost of inflation. Math is still math.

My two points would be - 1 make a list of essentials and don't forget it. 2 don't rush your shopping trip 😉. Looking forward to your next challenge, as someone else said Charity shop, Wilko or B&M. You could limit spend to your or your dads age. ps could you have filled the shopping bag full of leaves as a pillow? don't think ticks going to get through that plastic.

I got one of those headlamps from Poundland and to be fair they're pretty good. Poundland is still a place where you either get amazing value or pure junk.

To be fair, if I was chilly, I'd have wrapped the tarp over me too, since it wasn't raining. I'd have had the fire closer and kept it going into the night as I went to sleep. I love how you see positives in even cheap gear, instead of being a snob about these things. Some of us do have to keep to a budget, and don't want to be made to feel cheap and rubbish at the same time, which you didn't make me feel.
@mammyrambles2197 Жыл бұрын
Great challenge - some thoughts - cold soaking the pasta from the moment you arrived and then simply heating it in the fire might work. The cardboard inner might have been better used under your upper body as a thermal layer and the lighter packaging and/or string used as tinder.
