Survival+Game

The Survival Game You are the sole survivor of an airplane crash. You crash deep in the bush in a valley 100km from the nearest town. There are steep hills and cliffs on either side of the valley. It is very mountainous terrain. There is a small stream flowing down the middle of the valley in a southerly direction. The daytime temperature is warm but the nights get down to below zero. You cannot survive the night without a sleeping bag or warm jacket. A cold front is predicted in two day’s time that will bring rain. You know roughly where you crashed and that it is at least 10 days’ walk in a northeasterly direction to the nearest town. Because of weight restrictions you can only take 10 items from the following list with you. They must be the 10 most important items to increase your chances of survival. The only food on the list is two chocolate bars- enough for one day. You must eat every day and drink at least 2 litres of water a day to survive. One of the items you may take is a survival book. It is crucial that you leave straight away, so you don’t have time to read the book - you must take it with you if you want to read it. A rescue mission is being prepared to search for you, but they are not sure where you crashed. Because of the dense bush, the wreckage of the plane cannot be seen from the air. Which are the 10 most important items for survival? When choosing an item you must justify your choice- you must say why you chose it and why you left another behind.
