Day 24
It was time to begin a new mission today with Tyse - to build a shelter out in the veldt, using only materials we could find in the wild. We got off to a great start by making a long rope from some long reeds. Unfortunately, we spent most of the day looking (unsuccessfully) for a really good spot to make the shelter. And we managed to get the jeep stuck in some deep sand, which took about an hour to get out of - after digging ourselves out, we would only get another few meters before sinking in again. We got out eventually with a final big push, with Tyse flooring it to pick up speed so we just skimmed over the surface.
