Survival weekend 14-15 dec

**gertjie87** · 02-11-2013, 11:46

Ok seems like next available date for a survival weekend will be 14 to 15 december. One go bag is allowed for the two days. Btw the farm dam has been redone and know houses fish so survival fishing is now also a option. Any takers?

I'm keen, what "rules" do we have?
Fishing - what is available in the dam?
Hunting?
Shelter - are we allowed to build from materials gathered I.e. Chopping some small trees or should we bring tents.

How big can the go bag be? ;)

If it fits in the go bag you can bring it. Make the go bag practical and realistic. Hunting of small game is allowed if the weapon can fit in the go bag. Small game will include squirrels birds rabbits etc. Farm dam has tilapia in. Shelter will need to be built. As always beer does not count as part of the go bag. The whole point of a weekend like this is for fun and skills development.open to anyone that wants to come in the brits area north west

Cool haven't had a drink (alcohol) in the last 7 years...

Food - what do you guys normally take? I know its about survival but do you take rice or something like that as well?

Firearms - I only have a 357mag rollie I edc that will be accompanying me (may we hunt with this? 4" barrel)

Unfortunately I have to work on the 16th again, so will only spend the night of the 14th

It means you can have a beer bag. That rollie might be really good get some snakeshot to harvest a couple of birds or squirrels. Mostly I like to set traps for protein.i normally have some self raising flour in my gobag for some askoek
