Pritty sweet 3 days on survival with little food and cold, miserable weather from day 1 in the evening till day 2 at night. Built an amazing 14man shelter that kept us dry and relitively warm with a 14 man spoon chain going on. haha. 2nd day we went out and built our own shelter. Some people were tough enough to sleep in their's but not me.. along with 6 others. Felt pritty dissapointed the next morning having seen and heard the other's stories and how hard and cold their night was. My shelter was pritty good and dry but at the time of building it i was cold, wet and hungry so unfortunately gave up. that night was relitively warm. kept the fire going for the whole time. Next morning woke up and went to check out everyone elses shelters. after that we kicked them down then pritty much left after a few people swam in the river. Drove back to Hokitika and got shouted fish and chips! then left back to Greymouth.
