No tents for survivors - we had to build our own shelters. Did you know that by taking rope apart 10 feet can easily be turned into 30 feet? We did that a lot. After trying to construct a shelter between some trees (with questionable results) we decided to start over: On a tree-free patch covered with soft grass. We put up 2 ropes all the way across the clearing, tied a roof-tarp to them, hung 4 wall tarps from them, put a floor tarp under them, et voilá: Done was our new roomy and nicely box-shaped tarp-tent.
At the same time 2 of our team went about 50 meters further into the woods to built a latrine: Basically a tarp for sight cover around a hole in the ground, but when it was finished it came complete with toilet paper, flash light, in-use-indicator and magic markers for writing on the walls.
The judges were impressed, we deservedly won "best shelter" - another fuck-up for Team Orange (they had a latrine with an actual seat though: A for effort - they tried really hard). This was friday night, by then they couldn't yet know they'd better get used to being second.
Saturday noon: We had canned pasta with rice for lunch. Let's not talk about it.
