Hunger is satisfied with the C rations. You notice a plane flying overhead during the evening, But you cannot get their attention. To get the tarp in a protective location, you tie it down with the rope The cushion is used to keep people afloat while getting refreshed in the ocean
You have endured many hazards with little harm to your health. Your thoughts turn towards finding means of protecting yourself from exposure. The fish caught have not been suitable for eating, your rations continue to deminish. After days of waiting for rescue, you still have your stamina! The night plane flies overhead, but does not see you! A shark attacks the crew member using the cushion

Here's what it said.

Most probable scenario
To combat the direct rays of the sun, you place the plastic over you. Thirst is quenched by sipping from the can of water. Hunger is satisfied with the C rations. You notice a plane flying overhead, so you pour some oil/gas onto the waters and light it. A plane flies overhead during the day, you use your mirror to shine a reflection of the sun to catch their attention. To get the tarp in a protective location, you tie it down with the rope
You have endured many hazards with little harm to your health. Your thoughts turn towards finding means of protecting yourself from exposure. After days of waiting for rescue, you still have your stamina! You are noticed and rescued! The plane sees the reflected light and identifies you, you have been found!

That's where I messed up, I took the rum because I thought one of the others might be Trax or war-eagle.:rolleyes: Really, though, who wouldn't have took everything? That's just plain stupid to think that all those people couldn't have grabbed up about...what? 15 articles?:rolleyes:

:D

But to tell the truth, I would have smuggled the rum with me because if I'm gonna die, I'm gonna have one last "good time"!!!!!!

[Rick]

Well, for better or worse, here's mine:

Most probable scenario
To combat the direct rays of the sun, you place the plastic over you. Three survivors suffocate. Thirst is quenched by sipping from the can of water contaminated by the fire extinguisher. One survivor dies. Hunger is satisfied with the C rations and one survivor dies. You finally notice the date stamp of 6/4/1943. You notice a plane flying overhead, so you pour some oil/gas onto the waters and attempt to light it. Sadly, some of the mixture spilled in the raft and you are now fighting another fire. All survive but one person is badly burned. A plane flies overhead during the day, you use your mirror to shine a reflection of the sun to catch their attention. The flash blinds the pilot and he crashes into the ocean. To get the tarp in a protective location, you tie it down with the rope. A gale force wind causes the end of one piece of rope to wrap around the neck of the burned survivor. He dies leaving you alone in the raft.

You have endured many hazards with little harm to your health. Your thoughts turn towards finding means of protecting yourself from exposure. After days of waiting for rescue, you still have your stamina! You're flaming and charred raft along with the trail of dead boddies are noticed and you are rescued! The ship tracks the oil slick from the oil/gas debacle on the surface and sees you, you have been found!

Your overall survival IQ is 1%.
Your ability to stay alive is 2%.
Your ability to protect yourself from the elements is 3%
Your ability to catch the attention of your rescuers is 102%

Pretty fortunate to live in the Midwest!

[crashdive123]

Nice.......

[nell67]

LOL,Rick,now I don't feel so bad!

[Ole WV Coot]

Well Rick, don't guess we have to worry about starving sharks. That makes three of us and it's safe where I am. I would flunk desert also.

[Riverrat]

Found, but not real sure what shape I would be in, oh well....

[Riverrat]

Nice find Warman87.

[Sarge47]

Lol Rick.:D I thought about taking the rum to catch the pilots attention, especially if I had some attractive women in the raft. the idea of a party might bring the plane down for sure.:rolleyes: All this talk about being lost at sea, well the area I live in HAS had extensive flooding, most of which has since went back down. No problems with where I live though.:cool:

[Sarge47]

The S & R sea plane circles over the burning raft trailing the oil slick. They spot the lone survivor & the Pilot turns to his radio man & says: "Ok Bill, we've found the raft, notify the Coast Guard & the EPA, tell them......hey! Is that guy wearing a "Twinkie Suit"?:eek::rolleyes::D:cool:

[Rick]

Not me. That was Wilson. He's always clowning around.
