It’s about day like 25 or so of training camp…oh wait, it’s actually only day 4?! Everyday at training, so far, has been quite the adventure. Tuesday afternoon we were told we had 20 minutes to pack a backpack, with a buddy, with stuff to go camping. The one thing we weren’t allowed to pack was our tents. So we then hiked through the woods for a while until we reached a lake with some canoes where we rowed across to our little island. Once there, we had to build a shelter with a couple of tarps, build a fire to cook dinner, and dig a latrine. Working together we managed to accomplish it all and spent a beautiful night sleeping under the stars.
