yep so several things i learn/aquired in field camp...
1. night vision cos its so dark n u r not supposed to use ur torchlight...
2. sleeping in almost any position and anywhere... cos there was like a root on my back n ass for the 1st 2 nites...
3. humans eat warm edible food but u dun need to wash ur hands b4 eating... well tt applies to me la... hahaha
4. humans need showers... or at least a face wash (but u can forgo the brushing teeth part)... something we cant really do... cos our camo is on most of the time n its friggin hard to get rid of... so now my skin is like wierd... n lotsa ppl got heat rash... luckily i dun think i got... no foot rot oso... phew! hahaha
5. the SAF powder is good shit man! hahaha it kept me dry even thou i was hot like hell n running all over the place... not that good in a sense cos im supposed to sweat n let it evaporate to lower my temp... but must drink lotsa lotsa water man...
6. shitting in the open is a great experience... but i wouldnt do it again... hahaha
7. ur mouth is a very useful mixing tool for powdered drinks like milo, pokari sweat n lipton ice lemon tea etc... hahaha just pour some power in ur mouth, drink some water n mix n voila! a nice drink in ur mouth...
8. moving around in wet/2 days old underwear is not that bad if u powder ur balls well enough to make a smoke grenade...
9. use the insect repellant in large amounts... so buy more! n dun be so garang n unbutton ur shirt like me... luckily i got bitten by nothing... i hope...
n lastly 10. ziplock bags can sqeeze much much more than they actually look... n the field pack as well... its just how u fit it in... or squeeze...
