Order of Important things from air-plane

 

 

1)  Cosmetic Mirror

 

: The most powerful tool available for communicating your presence

 

 

2)  Overcoats

 

: To reduce moisture lost through perspiration, and prevent dehydration

 

 

3)  Water

 

: To delay dehydration (through not for very long)

: The only quick, reliable night-signalling device. Also useful for other activities such as digging

 

 

5)  Parachute

 

: Can serve as both a shelter and a signalling device

 

 

6)  Jack knife

 

: for rigging the shelter and cutting up the cactus for moisture

 

 

7)  Raincoat

 

: By digging a hole and placing the raincoat over it, a solar still can be constructed and water can be obtained

 

 

8)  Pistol
