Trigger warnings; kids having to learn to survive on their own, children living on their own, children with weapons, etc. 

Let me know if I should add to the list.

The camp of the Anti-Pan lost kids was an odd one—set up on one, nearly deserted sandy part of the island that was surrounded by trees, large rocks, and a cave as well as ocean water that rarely anyone ever stumbled upon.

That was why the kids had picked it; it was diverse, secluded, and they were rarely bothered by anyone there.

They could also easily hide if the need to arose and find different types of food because of the diverse landscape, and seek shelter in the cave if it started storming. It was perfect—even if it didn't have everything they wanted or needed.

They did their best to fix it up and make it as home-y as possible with what little they had.

The pirates already had shelter in the form of their small, homemade, makeshift ships—The Lost Revenge, The Queen's Fury, and The Croc Killer.

Harry, Gil, and Uma all slept on The Lost Revenge, with "pillows" (bundles of leaves and moss stuffed into animal fur and fish skin that were sewn shut by Gil) and a large "blanket" (made of various animal furs, again, made by Gil) that the three shared.

Harriet, Sammy, and the LeGume twins, on the other hand, slept on The Queen's Fury—using pillows and blankets made by Gil and the twins. The twins shared one blanket while Harriet and Sammy shared the other.

On the Croc Killer slept CJ, Zevon, and the Smee twins, using Gil and The LeGume Twins' blankets and pillows. All four of them were small enough to be able to share one blanket and two large pillows.

The other kids, upon joining forces with the pirates, had to make their own shelters with what limited supplies they had so they didn't have to sleep out in the cold—unprotected from the elements.

The Core Four built a Wicki-up shelter out of fallen tree branches, tree sap, leaves, moss, and grass, and made a medium-sized bough bed out of leaves, grass, and evergreen boughs.

The boys (Jay and Carlos) shared a "blanket" made out of the fur of a large wolf that Jay had killed after it had attacked Carlos, while the girls shared yet another fur blanket made from the fur of an animal that Mal had killed. The boys slept with pillows made by Gil—the ones made of fish skin, moss, and leaves—while the girls slept with fur pillows.

The remaining kids, on the other hand, made a tipi like shelter that was made out of log-like sticks as well as a bough bed to sleep on.

Ben, Chad, and Doug all shared a large fur blanket made from the furs of various animals sewn together while the girls (Lonnie, Jane, and Audrey) all shared a similar blanket. All of them also shared two large pillows put together by The LeGume brothers—boys got fish skin pillows and the girls got fur pillows.

It wasn't much but it was as close to home as they were gonna get, seeing as even if they did manage to escape this death trap that there was a high possibility that all of their parents were dead.

At this point, all of the kids had given up on ever escaping the death trap known as Neverland on their own and seeing their families again.

It might seem a bit depressing from an outside point of view, but it was an entirely realistic outlook on their situation in the kids' minds.

They had been here for god knows how long and no one had ever shown up looking for them—as far as they knew, everyone outside of Neverland that they had ever loved was dead or cursed, and never coming back. They didn't let any of this deter them from living their best lives, however.
