well after spending ages making a makeshift hammock and lean to using nothing but a pen knife spool of string (yes string) and the plastic stuff used for lining ponds, i have successfully made myself a robust hammock and shelter, all thats left is to carry up my sleeping bag, bivvy bag and a few things, including a broken lighter (only strikes, no gas) and some tinder so i can get a fire going without using matches or a lighter

.....tonight is officially my first exercise in survival, making a shelter out of bad materials, a fire without matches and all in terrible weather
thanks to BOB for the idea
