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 below zero, and the
night-time temperature is 40 below zero. There is snow
on the ground, and the countryside is wooded with
several creeks criss-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 managed to salvage the following
items:
1. a ball of steel wool
2. a small ax
3. a loaded .45-caliber pistol
4. a can of Crisco shortening
5. newspapers (one per person)
6. cigarette lighter (without fluid)
7. extra shirt and pants for each survivor
8. 20 x 20 ft. piece of heavy-duty canvas
9. a sectional air map made of plastic
10. one quart of 100-proof whiskey
11. a compass
12. family-size chocolate bars (one per person)
Your task as a group is to rank the above twelve items in order
of importance for your survival. List the uses for each. You
have five minutes.
 In a group, agree on the ranking of
the items.
 You MUST come to an agreement as a
group.
 Rank the items and explain your
rationale.
 You have fifteen minutes.
• To award points, look at the ranking numbers on
this answer sheet.
• Award points to each team’s top choices according
to the numbers here.
• For example, the map would earn 12 points, while
the steel wool would earn 2 points.
• Lowest score wins (and survives).
 Please answer the questions
honestly
 Your group will not see your
answers!
 Completing this sheet will be part of
your homework
 Read through the syllabus on your own
 Make sure you understand the difficulty and
the level of commitment you will need to have
