E-Rangers Survival Camp 2010! By: The Boss No comments

On the 17-19th of March 2010, the Expedition Rangers of Selangor #6 GTAK held its annual ER Survival Camp (plus another night of low-impact camping). A total of 18 rangers and 6 commanders attended this year's edition of our much-awaited Survival Camp held in an undisclosed location in KKB. And what an awesome camp we had this time! 3 fantastic days of valuable camping and survival experience.

As part of the requirement to complete the Silver Wilderness Survival merit, the rangers were required to go for a overnight camp in the forest, build their own shelter from native materials, catch and cook their meals, start a fire without using matches, keep the fire going all night long, and most importantly...survive the night! Well, I'm glad to say that all 18 of them made it through the night extremely well and we're all really proud at how they performed out there! Well done, boys and girls...

After a night of surviving the wild forest, what a relief to be back in base camp the day after! Here's Cmdr Reuben & Cmdr Julian conducting the de-briefing.

What would you do the morning after Survival Camp? Sleep and tie yourself up in the hammock, for safety.

Have you ever seen a target board look this amusing? Neither have I :)
