DAY ONE CAMP RESULTS

It is your first day on the island and you are stranded there among the cameramen with only a machete, a pot and some canteens. You get busy before sunset to find some way to survive on this island.

People scatter about, exploring the island, looking for what they can do to help. Some people head out looking for food supplies, managing to harvest some fruit and coconuts from the forest on the island. The amount you collect is not a lot, but it's enough to feed you amply for today.

Almost everyone pitches in trying to erect a shelter before you have to deal with rain or the colder nights. Many hands make light work, with Darth Vilus particularly impressing everybody. You wouldn't expect it from the motivational speaker, but he clearly knows how to put something together with his hands and he puts in a long day's work. Between the seven of you, you have a rudimentary shelter up before the first rains come. It's not what you'd like it to be, and with a little more work it could be a lot more watertight, but it proves better than sitting under the trees.

Best of all, though, is the fire you light from your signal fire. Suddenly you have warmth to go along with your shelter and the elements seem much easier to deal with.

Between the elements you are still exposed to in your rudimentary shelter, the meal you have, the cozy fire and your efforts in the challenge and during the day, you each lose three health points. Life here is still tough but not as bad as you feared.
