In the morning, many of us were desperate for water because it was depleted. Our only way of getting fresh water was through filtering water by the river nearby. However we had only 3 water filters for 30 people which took quite a long time. I laughed as one the people had slipped into the water and came back all drenched. He had slipped on the slippery rock and took a swim in the river. Today, we learned about making fires such as making an SOS Signal. It should be made before hand and should be fully on fire in 30 seconds. The fires were placed in 3 places in the shape of a triangle. So when the airplanes that flew overhead, they would see the fires in a shape of a triangle and understand that we needed help. Then we went repelling off a round cliff. I tried jumping off but instead of falling down, I went back up. I tried jumping off again for the second time but I just moved downwards a little bit. But for every step that I took, I felt like I was getting better until the end where I had to land on the ground. While I jumped off to land on the ground, I hit the wall and it hurt.
After that, it was getting dark and they made us sleep without our tents. Finally, we were put to the test and me and 2 others decided to run off into the woods to sleep. We were supposed to make a shelter but instead we decided to sleep in the open, without a tent or a sleeping bag. We were not supposed to eat as well because it would attract a bear but we decided to eat roast beef jerky. It was so good but too bad we didn’t have much. In addition, we had a big bonfire which lasted for a long time before it died out. I slept without a sleeping bag.
