The cave Ashley found turned into their home. It was a place with everything they needed to survive: fresh water, eatable fruits and herbs, and fish.
They could get all of that, plus a little sunlight without leaving the cave, but staying inside for a long period would make anyone crazy. So after they worked on building their homes inside the cave, and making it sustainable, everyone wanted to leave.
It was dangerous to leave, of course, the tribe men could find them, or worse, find their hidden location, but it was impossible for them to remain down there for eternity.
"I still have the birds to check the surrounding area. We will move through water and only come out far from here. Also, it would be best if we split into teams while exploring, so it will draw less attention." Damian said.
