I stood back on the beach and listened to Dustin and Silvan talk. Their strategy was right, but not the best answer. Sure we needed water and shelter, but since this was not just any survival excursion, we also needed to know that the other teams weren't near our position. For all we knew, all the teams could have been placed on the same beach. We didn't even know how big the island was. I thought about speaking up, but I wanted to be sure that I had a solution first. We needed something that we could defend easily. I cave preferably, but all I saw was forest and sand.
It would be easy for me to hide in the trees for a little while, but there was no guarantee for a stay any longer than one night per hiding spot before we risked getting spotted. We needed a home base of some sort that would always be safe. I walked away from the group making sure noone saw me and a little ways into the forest. Again, all there was was trees and greenery. I chose the tallest tree I could find and started climbing. All I needed was the insurance that there wasn't any other team nearby.
At the top of the tree I got a glimpse of how big the island was. I couldn't see everything, but the forest seemed to stretch on forever and the beach was deserted on every side stretching into the distance. In a way, that was a good thing. We didn't need to worry too much about other teams early on so we can get our bearings but there was also the chance that this whole ordeal could last much longer than we hoped. A little water could last a day, but we would soon need to find a way to get it constantly.
I looked down at my little group. They didn't seem to have noticed that I was gone. Probably still strategizing. I never said much to them in training. Not that I completely agreed with anything, but none of them were complete idiots so I let them talk it out. I knew that they wouldn't want to die any more than me. I looked around once more for a sign of life with no success then climbed down and rejoined the group. I guess there wasn't anything to report on my end. I never saw any sign of a good place to set up base anyways.
