Today we crashed somewhere in Ethiopia. We have little supplies and its raining. Tonight we will sleep on the plane, and in the morning we will look for food, water and shelter. Right now we will find wood to start and fire. We will use some newspaper to start the fire with the lighter. We can’t stay on this crashed plane forever, so it is time to move in the morning. -

Day 2
We are in the wet season of Ethiopia an it rains all the time. It is not really hot about 70 degrees. It can get cooler at night as the sunsets. There are many animals and plants. There are Elephants, lions, monkeys, antelopes, zebras, bushpigs and many more cool animals. All but antelopes can dangerous in that list. Desert shrubs, thornbushes, and coarse savanna grasses are all plants in Ethiopia. Thorn Bushes are dangerously sharp.. -
Day 2 cont.
We are going to use all of the supplies we have to survive. Our basic needs are food, water, a shelter to live in. We will find a group of tall bushes and put the tarp on top of the bushes to make a shelter. We will eat the candy bars and hunt for animals to eat. -
Day 3
We are up and moving. We have made a sundial to determine what time it is. We started moving around 10 A.M. We are traveling North to a road that leads to the nearest town. Right now we are dividing 1 candy bar into four pieces to sustain some type of energy. We are collecting rainwater and taking a chance and drinking it straight from the sky. We have found different bugs to eat to try our best to eat the least amount of calories to eat, which is 1200. It is now getting around 5:30 and the.. -
Day 3 cont.
sun is going down. We have made a planisphere to use to follow the stars and also find the different constellations. We continue north until we reach a nice stopping point and find some more bushes and use our tarp and sleep under that for tonight. We will also use the tarp to catch rain water and drink it in the morning. -
Day 4
Today is our fourth day and we are getting low on food. The lowest amount of calories we can intake is around 1200, but we are only getting around 200. The only thing we have to eat is candy bars and we split one bar into four pieces. We are going to use a pistol and try hunting for some animal to cook and get more calories. We need to average around 2 to 3 liters of water. We are able to access this due to the constant rain that is here.. -
Day 4 cont.
We found a package that we assumed fell out of the plane before we crashed. There is a knife, two empty bottles, 4 candy bars, and a first aid kit. Now we have something to put the water in, instead of constantly having someone carrying the tarp full of water. We have found a nice resting stop. We set up are tarp to use as cover. We set up the bottles for water, and put gauze from the first aid kit on the opening of the bottles to filter out anything bad. -
Day 5
Today is day five and we made a water filter to test tomorrow. We dig for sand and rock to make the filter. We use the two bottles we got yesterday to make the filter. We used the tarp to carry the sand and rocks around. It is how we are going to make the filter.We are going to fill one of the bottles up 3/4 of the way with rocks and sand. We will put rocks first then sand and kept putting rock then sand until we have 3/4 of the bottle full.. -
Day 5 cont.
At the top of the bottle we will have a napkin to kept the rocks and sand in the bottle and to let the water come out and have alum on top too held by tape. We will pour the clean water that is falling out into the second bottle. After all the water has been filter we will kept the filter device and had the clean water in the second bottle with the cap on it. -
Day 6
We woke up today from a hissing noise. There was a snake in our camp! It was pretty scary. Today we found two water bottles to use to filter our water. We put sand and rock in one bottle and pour the water into that bottle. On top of that bottle we used some medical gauze then set the top of the empty bottle on top of that and pour the water through the gauze, sand and rock and filtered it like that.. -
Day 6 cont.
We now have clean water to drink. Walking today E-learn stepped into a hole and sprained his ankle. Dylan raised his hand and said he would help E-learn walk for the rest of the ways. We may have to slow down early because E-learn and Dylan are running out of energy. We will set up camp and wait for a new day. -
Day 7
As we were sleep through the night, the next morning we woke up and notice an important item was missing. We all pointed at each other assuming that it has to be one of us. As hours past we find each other still arguing and neither of us still knows who did.. -
Day 7 cont.
Dylan was so upset that he felt like we were against him so he cried and cried. Dylan crying has made us feel guilty
so we all came together and decided that it doesn’t matter cause we all need each other. To settle this we find sticks and rocks to play a little baseball with rocks and sticks. -
Day 8
Today we wake up and all of our spare clothes are wet. We hung the clothes on a branch to dry. While we were hanging the clothes It started to rain again so we put the tarp on top of the clothes. After it stopped raining a swarm of mosquitos attacked us. We started to hide when we were attacked again.. -
Day 8 cont.
Now we were run and jumping over things trying to get away from the mosquitos. The mosquitos stopped attacking us about 7 o'clock. We then realized that Dylan D. and Jesse got dengue from the mosquitos. E-learn got bored and dug a hole in the ground. -
Day 9
We are up and moving on. We are getting closer and closer to civilization. We really need to get there soon because Dylan D. and Jesse are getting sicker because of dengue and hurting more. We are also running out of supplies. We just gave Dylan and Jesse the last bit of medicine we got from the first aid kit we found to help their pains.. -
Day 9 cont.
They are getting tired quicker though, so E-learn and Dylan T. would have to help the other walk, even though E-learn’s ankle is still a little sore. We are about to stop and set up camp again. Hopefully tomorrow we will find someone. -
Day 10
We woke up earlier than usual because Dylan D and Jesse are getting sicker by the minute. We see smoke! We gather up everything and start walking as fast as possible. E-learn and Dylan T are basically carrying Dylan D and Jesse. Everyone’s hearts are pounding because we think we are about to finally get help. We see houses in the distance! We start running and we finally get to the houses. People see us and see that we are struggling and they help us. We are finally free!
