3D2N: Fire

We were trying to start a campfire that night but everything there was too moist. The dry leaves gathered wasn't dry enough, the matches wouldn't light up. It was even more crazy when the fire started lighting up and someone said something about some teacher complaining and they kicked the earth all over my fire. 

Our leader said it could have been a bit of a misunderstanding and so we tried again. The wind started blowing which kept killing out the fire from the matches. I so felt like giving up!! but we kept trying. After a few more broken matches, we finally got the fire to light up. I watched as the blazing fire eat up everything we threw in. It took quite an effort to make the fire steady, we kept adding wood. Light wood, heavy wood, thin wood, thick wood, all went in.

We took some junk food, poke it with bamboo sticks and roasted it with the fire which gave it a smoky, crunchy taste. We let the fire slowly die out, and I saw one of my favourite moments where the embers starts glowing like it's breathing. It's beautiful enough to make you just stay and watch. <3

3D2N: Ropes & Bamboo

Bang! Bang! I try to hold the chopping knife as still as possible while my friend hits the other side with a stone. The impact hurts my hand but this stubborn bamboo doesn't even crack a bit.

My sweat is dripping all over the bamboos as I pull the ropes tight. I'm making a tripod but my hands hurts, my waist hurts and my mind is shutting down on me. It's late and I've been tying bamboos together all day, I can't leave this till tomorrow or it's ropes might loosen. I take deep breathes every time the rope wont go through the middles of the bamboos to stop me from just kicking it to a side.

The bamboos are slippery with all my sweat. To make things worst there's not even a single breeze in this hot forest air. The heat is squeezing every drop of water out of my body. I finally finished chopping it in half, there's another one waiting but I had enough. So, I wiped up and hit the sack.
