SUMMARY

A group of ten to twenty shipwrecked individuals must prioritize survival on a large, wooded desert island with limited resources. The immediate focus should be on finding fresh water, constructing a shelter, and establishing a food source through foraging and trapping. Sanitation is crucial, with latrines dug away from water sources. Leadership and morale management are essential for long-term survival, as is the creation of signal fires for potential rescue.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic survival skills, including shelter building and foraging.
  • Knowledge of water purification techniques and sanitation practices.
  • Understanding of group dynamics and leadership in survival situations.
  • Familiarity with edible plants and wildlife tracking.
NEXT STEPS
  • Research water purification methods in survival scenarios.
  • Learn about constructing effective shelters using natural materials.
  • Study foraging techniques for identifying edible plants and fruits.
  • Explore strategies for maintaining group morale and leadership roles in survival situations.
USEFUL FOR

Survival enthusiasts, outdoor adventurers, team leaders in crisis management, and anyone interested in wilderness survival techniques.

Right, then. That makes a lot more sense. I've heard about them, but didn't know the name. Supposedly a good candidate for Bermuda Triangle-type disappearances, but I wonder if the lifeboat would have floated in something like that or if maybe there's another explanation.


The lifeboat was thrown clear - it took us some time in the water before some clever chap spotted it a couple hundred yards off.
Then unfortunately it hit that reef...

Handsome dude. :wink:

Something about men with beards, perhaps. :biggrin:

I have been greeted/treated as a rabbi, Arab, Greek, and when I was in E. Europe, several monks suggested I join their monestaries.

Oh, my head! Brewnog, you're going to have to move that still further from camp if you keep mixing stuff that gives off such fumes! Thankfully the wind changed directions and I came to. How long have I been out?
