The journal

Day 2, in the year of our lord 2020.

Good news, I didn't die during my first night. YAY!

Bad news, I'm still not home. Boo!

Okay, I spent yesterday looking around, and there is absolutely NOTHING other than forest as far as the eye can see! Well, that's not true, I can see mountains, one of them is massive and just sticks out like that big middle finger fate is giving me right now.

There was no trail, nothing other than the sounds of the animals. As tempted as I was just walking one direction until I was out of this damn forest I decided to make a base camp. That way I have a place to relax and plan out my next move, not to mention basic survival.

I found a tiny nearby river to provide me with fresh water, so that takes care of my water supply. Next I made myself a shelter. I found a small dried out tree, took off it's branches and moved it forward. I had prepared two branches in an X formation to keep the trunk up. Using some string I tied the whole thing together, and after that I simply covered the whole thing with big wide branches with large leafs.

I saw that on a YouTube video once, so I was sure I was going to be nice and cozy for the night.

Well surprise surprise, I slept like hell.

My back is killing me, and I have run out of snacks.

After a wholesome breakfast consisting of my last snickers, I decided to take inventory. I have my wallet, some cash. My keys with a small laser pointer. I have my backpack filled with textbooks and writing materials, my Iphone, no service of course, and a water bottle.

Nothing too useful, but it will have to do.

Today I will try and come up with a plan for getting out of the forest. I will also try to see if I can find a trail and some recognizable food. I'll leave the books at my camp for now, just in case I find something I want to carry in my backpack.

Wish me luck.

Robin.
