Thank you for taking the time to look at our page.

Who are we?

Ross and Miles are Firefighters based in Berkshire and Gary is a tree surgeon based near Bisley.

What is the challenge?

We are going to try to survive the wilds of Britain for five days with minimal kit between 31st August and 4th September.

You may well be thinking what can be hard about that?  I know I did when this idea came about. The more I looked into it I realised that it wasn't what we are taking but more what we are leaving behind!

What we are allowed:

One 24 hour ration pack (ex army,minus the matches) An axe, Knife and a metal cooking tin each . That is really all!

What is not allowed:

Sleeping bags/mats, matches, lighter, flints, fishing gear, snares, rope, plastic, fire lighters, extra food, torches, spare clothes or any thing else which might make life a bit more comfortable.

We will hopefully make a weather resistant shelter from natural materials and light a fire using friction (rubbing two sticks together). We will live off the land and rely on our knowlege of edible plants etc to keep us 'fed'. Our water will have to be sourced from streams (if we're very lucky), or failing that from still water pools/digging down to the water table (no spades remember).  If any of these fail we are going to be very uncomfortable as well as hungry.

Please do donate on our page all proceeds going to cancer research .

If you have any questions please feel free to E-Mail me.

 

All the best

Miles Ross and Gary
