I competed in my team of four in Dragnet Cumbria a 38hour, 35mile DofE stile hike where you are chased through the Lake District whilst carrying all your clothes, food and shelter on your backs.

In Dragnet you are given only 4 lives which will be taken away one by one if your team is caught, in conjunction with arriving at the target destination as close to 11o'clock on the Sunday morning will dictate what position your team will come.
We slept in the woods covered with just our sleeping bags, BIVVI bags and a fly sheet that we mainly used as a ground sheet as we avoided roads and other obvious routs.
