Survival Exercise

You and your companions have just survived the crash of a small plane. Both the pilot and co-pilot were killed in the crash.

It is mid-January, and you are in Northern Canada. The daily temperature is 25 degrees below zero Fahrenheit, and the nighttime temperature is 40 degrees below zero Fahrenheit. There is snow on the ground and the area has many trees and woods. There are also several creeks crossing the area.

The nearest town is 20 miles away. You are all dressed in city clothes appropriate for a business meeting. Your group of survivors has managed to salvage the following items:

____ A ball of steel wool

____ A small axe

____ A loaded .45-caliber pistol

____ Can of Crisco shortening

____ Newspapers (one per person)

____ Cigarette lighter (without fluid)

____ Extra shirt and pants for each survivor

____ 20 x 20 ft piece of heavy-duty canvas

____ A sectional air map made of plastic

____ A compass

____ Family-size chocolate bars (one per person)

As a team, use what you know about the alpine survival to rate each item in the above list according to how important it would be for your survival.

Number the items 1 through 11, with 1 as the most important item, and 11 as the least important item.
