Y

ou were on a scientific mission to a group of islands in South Pacific with a friend. One day you
took a helicopter and flew to an island where only one person has been before. You were looking
for a wild animal that lived there. Unfortunately, the sky was getting darker and darker.
Afterward the rain fell heavily.Suddenly, to your horror, the lightning hit the helicopter. Then the
engine stopped.....
The next thing you know is that the helicopter had crashed and that was impossible to
repair it. Luckily, you and your friend were not hurt.
The radio in the helicopter was broken, but your equipment is O.K.. You also had a map
that the earlier explorer drew. You had no food and only a little water.
If you want to survive, you must reach the coast, which was a long and difficult to walk.
You can only carry ten items between you. Look at the list and choose the ten things you would
take.
