This isn't just your basic camping trip or sleep out. 

Team Harris is comprised of cousins Mike and Sam Harris. We will be heading out into the wilderness armed only with the following:

1 Set of clothes, 1 cooking pot, 1 knife, 1 axe some string, animal furs, fire lighting equipment & a water bottle. 

For the duration of our stay we will need to collect and purify our own drinking water, catch kill and forage for any food, build our shelter and keep a fire going. The aim is to complete 5 days and 5 nights. We are still currently looking for a location from someone with private land so as not to disturb anyone else. 

Mike Harris: in 2015 Mike rode his bike with a companion from London to Paris for prostate cancer UK, raising £2500 in the process. 

Sam Harris: last year Sam walked the length of Hadrian's wall over 4 days and 4 nights, following much the same plan as we will for this walk (plus wore Roman style sandals and was off his feet for the following week, so that's not happening this time). 

In terms of survival skills in the wilderness......bear Grylls would struggle to insure either of us to go on his island show......Expect some seriously bad decisions and steep learning curves! We are prepping as much as possible but this could still be too much! If we don't make it (or only one of us does by eating the other), perhaps donate per day and night we survive? Happy to receive donations after the event. 

We will be keeping people posted with regular vid updates along the way, whether they like it or not!
