Mr doesn't use gadgets weighs in
and says I'm pretty sure the gadgets would save me. Pilots initiate an emergency signal when they're going in for crash landings don't they? If I'm wrong somebody tell me cuz I'll need a better answer, but my answer for now is stay calm and wait.
oh please stop it was nothing
Bowing profusely as the audience throws flowers on the stage..:o :o :o I want to thank mom and dad and my agent....

Pretty hard to build a sustainable fire on water
My point is, just because it was a plane wreck doesn't mean help is on the way, or that they will find me anytime soon.
Yeah, but they will look and a plane is easier to spot than a person is.
150 miles is a long walk out in the northern country, especially if there are bog and mountain ranges to cross.
[I]Yep, too far for me. I'm going to start building in that scenario.

You might have that much paddling to do first with the size of the lakes where this particular quizmaster lives.
I stay put, I focus my energy on an initial signal fire, and building a nice shelter, this is the north, and I could be here awhile, a deluxe shelter is called for, assuming I have enough material at hand. Fishing can wait until later, I just survived a plane crash, I'm not even hungry yet.
The plane's heater probably still works and yeah, a plane crash would probably ruin my appetite, specially with that dead guy still around.
I'm saving the candy bar until later, if my shelter is inadequate this first night, the calories in that candy may help me survive until daybreak when I can improve the shelter.
Usually, your chances of getting rescued are about 80% better if you stay with a plane wreck, at least that's what they taught us back in the day with bushplanes. If possible, if it is a wreck, try to get the fuel, there's a nasty fire starter for you!
Let's have some fun with this one.
I'm thinking something like castaway meets weekend at bernies:D I'll break out some string and turn the pilot into a meat marrianette (you know like pinnochio). That way I'll have company (it's better than a volleyball), then I'll break out my trusty swiss army knife and using the chocolate bar, some floss and a peice of tin foil fix the hole in the engine block a'la Mcgyver. Then me and my new freind mister pilot will fly outta there and the tower will talk me down to a nice safe landing where they will discover the pilot has miracously had a full recovery which they credit to my marrienette work which allowed his body to heal itself through the wonders of the Tia chi we were donig. I'll be a hero and they will invite me for front row seats to the MLB allstar game. :rolleyes:
