My Survival Camp Experience... By: The Boss No comments

This year is my first year joining the Royal Rangers. I’ve always liked the outdoors since I don’t know when. Survival camp is my chance to get out from my comfort zone, into the jungle and just have fun. It’s like a break away from everything at home. I was a little worried at first, knowing that I have to slaughter a still breathing chicken and the thought that the fella’s blood might just splatter all over my face. EWWW!!

When we had to live in a jungle with nothing but survival kit n the leeches family for a night, we learned to help each other. And that was the first time I’ve ever seen so MANY leeches in my life n even on my feet. But I sort of overcame the fear of leeches after a while. That’s one of the many things I get from this camp. The thought to feed the leeches with the chicken’s blood crossed my mind.

Anyway, we managed to build a shelter, slaughter the little feathery fella, cooked it and survived through the night with some help from the cmdrs. I was actually hoping to see a wild boar or any wild animal in the jungle. It’ll make the camp more interesting. But sadly, none came. Also, I actually have no idea how I managed to go through the murdering chicken part without puking. Seriously!

After that night in the jungle, it was Lepak camp. Before this, I didn’t really know what they mean by Lepak camp. But now I know that Lepak camp really mean Lepak camp cause all we do is lepak. I’ve never been to a Lepak camp before. Well, the best part about Lepak camp for me is that I get to go fishing! Yays!! I’ve always wanted to try fishing.


Overall, it was really fun. I really enjoyed it. I also get to know the other rangers who I didn’t already know. And I definitely got closer to some of the rangers. Just wanna thank God for keeping us safe throughout the whole camp. And for this lifetime experience that money cannot buy.
