48-Hour Wilderness Survival Challenge: The Good, the Bad, and the Beans

🔥Getting a lighter as the first item was crucial as it allowed us to start a fire and cook food.

🏕️Building a shelter using natural resources was challenging but rewarding, providing a comfortable place to sleep.

🍝Having access to pasta and cake mix gave us a much-needed energy boost and a taste of normalcy.

🦷Creating a toothbrush from a branch and charcoal helped us maintain oral hygiene in the wilderness.

❤️We cherished the visit from the girls and the simple joy of playing a game together after days of solitude.

Did you catch any fish?

—Unfortunately, we didn’t manage to catch any fish using our homemade fishing kit.

How did you sleep without a sleeping pad?

—Although not as comfortable, we managed to sleep better with moss and makeshift pillows.

Did you miss any items from the survival kit?

—We definitely missed having a mosquito net earlier on, but we managed with other techniques to avoid bug bites.

Did you find any other food besides pasta and cake mix?

—We foraged some Spruce or pine boughs but didn't use them to make tea.

Did you encounter any wildlife?

—We spotted beaver signs and found a beaver tooth, but no close encounters with wildlife.
