24 hour survival training


Before you are allowed to venture out into the wide white yonder, you must partake in mandatory training that covers all sorts of stuff like navigation, survival techniques, cooking, search methods etc. Basically for a day you strap on your pack grab a map and compass and go for a walk as a group stopping at various landmarks along the way. That night you get your bivvie out (nylon sack), and that is where you sleep. The day is tiring but heaps of fun.
