CAT CAMPING

           The 2 days CAT survival camp was one of the most memorable experiences in my life, it helped us polish our teamwork, our craftiness, our perseverance, knowledge, basically all the knowledge that involves survival.

            During the first day, all of us were excited for our first and last CAT camping that will be held at A.C.T. Our first activity was like capture the flag but the flags were handkerchiefs, all of the platoons were unsuccessful in capturing all 8 flags, later it was revealed that the final handkerchief was hidden on the bottom part of the locker.

           After the first activity, we were tasked to cook our own meal, it was tough but we were successful, and after almost 1-2 hours of making a fire, and cooking, we finally made our meal only to be bartered to the other platoons. We were pretty frustrated with the barter because we worked hard for that meal, and we made it as a platoon, yet it was bartered to another platoon.

             After the meal, we continued our activities, so some may call it "The amazing race". This race consists of 8 challenges, The first was to show your footwork, the second was you have to guess what "thing" is inside the number you choose, the third was balance, the fourth was still balance, the fifth was an obstacle course, the sixth was you have to fit through a hole without falling on it, the seventh one was carrying someone on your back, and the last activity was the harena game.

           After all the activities, we were tasked again to cook our own food, it was pretty tiring after doing all those activities, but in the end, we were able to cook a fine meal for our platoon to enjoy. After the meal, we all took a shower.

          After we took a shower, we had one last activity in the night, which was to speak to those you have some conflict with, at first I didn't like the idea, because we are not talking because of a specific reason, but in the end, we were able to talk it out and avoid issues.

          In the morning, as expected, we were all pretty tired, most of the people were sleeping, (including me), and yet we were able to cook our own food once again.


         That concludes my experience in the CAT CAMPING, it was the most fun I'd had for a long time, it certainly helped me see everything in a bigger picture, and learn to appreciate all we have today, no matter how small.
