Some people on rum can last longer than others; I scored a 48.

I passed on the rum and and scores a 64.

Your overall survival IQ is 64.
Your ability to stay alive is 97%
Your ability to protect yourself from the elements is 49%
Your ability to catch the attention of your rescuers is 46%

show off. I know you were nippin on my rum in the life raft. Touch it again again I'll wrap you in my mosquito net and tie you off off with my 15 foot of nylon rope and eat the freekin shark that comes after you since there's no repellant in the water. Sorry, did I say that out loud???

After reading the critique I went back and switched out the one item I thought was a must have for something I originally thought would be no use to me and the score shot way up.
Your overall survival IQ is 80.
Your ability to stay alive is 97%
Your ability to protect yourself from the elements is 97%
Your ability to catch the attention of your rescuers is 46%

What's the magic combo? When I dumped the fishing kit in favor of the map to use as shade, my score jumped up to 80.

I went with the mirror, water, C-rats, cushion, plastic sheet and the map.

Magic combo - do you really want to know? If not, don't read the following!

It took awhile for me to get it right, but I prevailed and survived at 99%



Mirror, water, C-rations, oil/gas mixture, plastic, rope

That's BS, how do you light the gas/oil, with your breath? I didn't see "Lighter" on the list.

Directions: You are adrift on a private yacht in the south pacific. As a consequence of a fire of unknown origin, much of the yacht and its contents have been destroyed. The yacht is now slowly sinking. Your location is unclear due of the distruction of critical navigational equipment and because you and the crew were distracted trying to bring the fire under control. Your best estimate is that you are approximately one thousand miles south-southwest of the nearest land.

Below is a list of fifteen items that are intact and undamaged after the fire. In addition to these articles, you have a serviceable rubber raft with oars large enough to carry yourself, the crew, and all the items listed below. The total contents of all survivors' pockets are a package of cigarettes, several books of matches, and five one dollar bills.

Your task is to select six items from the fifteen to take with you on the raft. The six items you select will determine your survival instincts and aptitude. (Based on a similar test offered by the U.S. Coast Guard).

They are worried about fire a 1000 miles from land in a rubber inflatable. I'll keep the Rum.

The rum is already gone. Got drunk and tried to light the BBQ and caught the boat on fire, thats how I got into this damn mess in the first place!
