The Survival trip!

vhe last weekend of April Taylor and Patricia went on a 3 day 2 night survival trip! We were each allowed 1 sleeping bag, a poncho, 2 water bottles, a knife, and a tin cup. We made our own shelter and started our own fire and ate off the land. It was a grueling 6 hour hike in and miserable 4 hour hike out. It pushed us to the end of rope and then pushed a little more! The second night we were solo, so we had to make our own fire, set up our own shelter. I am not sure what was worse, the cold, the fact we were with 10 strangers trying to pull together as a team, the rugged terrain, the lack of food, the lack of sleep, or just being pushed so far out of your comfort zone! But we made it and we are stronger because of it! The good news is that neither of us fought with each other the whole time! It was cool to see how we really came together as a couple and helped each other. Especially Taylor, he was so survival trip. o protective! As hard as it was I definitely recommend it for all people, especially newlyweds!


Taylor realized AFTER he had built his shelter that there 2 ant hills on either side of him. So he made a deal with the ants that of they ate him he would eat every last one of them! (Yes he really would have... he was snacking on a different colony earlier that day)! Luckily no ants were harmed as a result of revenge The last weekend of April Taylor and Patricia went on a survival trip. TAYLOR SNACKING ON ANTS!
