I’m a SURVIVOR – Day 1

“Welcome to Survival Week. Tomorrow is Day 1!
Wake up is 5:45 am. You have an hour. Pack your knapsack (check pics for size) and say goodbye to all your bags for 2 days. Bring your clothes, sleeping bag, toothbrush and toothpaste, water, a spoon, a bowl and some toilet paper.
We will break you into teams of 5 and we will hike to the top of Mt. Meron.”

The Pioneers were anxious, nervous and excited all at the same time! They started hiking on Sunday around 7am with a compass and navigating different points on their own (with the Leader by the Survival company) Every group decided when and how long they wanted to stop for.

On the way, they learned how to make Tehina and how to clean our bowls afterwards using dirt! Try that dishwasher soap in your hourse.
They met a spring and went swimming to cool off.

At the end of their Day 1 journey, they ended at a campsite- and learned how to start a fire. They Cooked rice and lentils, chopped vegetables, made pita. Camping rules. Even though they were super hunry, you don’t eat until everyone is done working and preparing the food.

The Pioneers ended the day in a circle talking about the highest and lowest points of their day. WThey went to bed on mats and in our sleeping bags under the ‘Million Star Hotel.’
The Pioneers have adapted to living outside and are well on their way of Day 2 by now.
(Please note, each guide is sending their own pics so if there aren’t tons of pics of your Pioneer yet, it is coming…) –
