Cempaka Platinum Expedition 2011 Day 2

Day 2: Survivor Challenge

Survivor Challenge is difficult by itself already, and the sporadic bursts of heavy rain throughout the day did not help.

We travelled by boat to the other side of the island where Survivor Challenge was held, and the participants had to swim to shore.
After collecting our materials, we went further into the the forest where Survivor Challenge really begins.

Each group was given a live chicken to learn to care for other living creature. Little did th know that very chicken will soon serve to be lunch as well.

The teams were busy with setting camp at building a bivouac. No bivouac equals to sleeping in the rain! We also had to prepare lunch for ourselves, which the marshals had the pleasure of trying.

"Testing your food was like fear factor for us." -En Raphael to the participants

After spending the whole day in the forest, Survivor Challenge was still far from over.

Later that night, we had our very first Fear Factor.
We were served a exotic four-course-meal, which consisted of live silk worms and unidentified mush. It took up all of our remaining strength to pluck up the courage, but in the end we all managed to down the feast and surprisingly, held it in our stomach.

Does it taste better going in or coming out?

How she wished it were gummy worms instead.

Of course, that wasn't the end of Fear Factor.
One member from each team had to go through one more round of fear factor:

Yes, those are hermit crabs on her body.

And to top it all off, the teams had to go sleep in their bivouac, under the pouring rain.
