Minecraft Seed 404 Challenge

Sorry in advance for the tweets you may hear throughout the vid (silly tweetdeck tweeting noises for following #minecraft :D)

In Minecraft ß1.3 there was introduced the ability to set a SEED for the random maps, thus making them not so random. Someone found that seed 404 made an interesting patch of gravel, that when a block was taken out, you'd cause a cave in that could nearly reach the bottom of the world.
Thread to the challenge at : http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1020&t=190157

I lasted just short of an hour and a half (got bored at about an hour and decided to try my luck in the nether.

Goal of the challenge:
1) start wherever, mine / gather what you'd need before nightfall, enter the cave system at dusk. No torches allowed to be made before entering (storyline of them being broken when riding the waterfall down).
2) Last as long as you can

I managed to get to a point where I was safe, and could keep myself safe for however long I wanted...I'd even limited myself to no foodstuffs when I entered the cave system, and didn't have anything to make food while down there.

Texture pack: Moontrain's Lucid pack (updated myself to have the bed and modified a couple parts that I thought needed better differences)
