You are taking a small plane crossing over a remote area of the Amazons. You have been in the air over 1 hour when you experience engine trouble due to an electrical storm. You crash land safely but shaken. The pilot estimates you are about 80 miles from your intended village and the Amazon river is 8 miles SE of you. Your radio and communications system is destroyed. You have your personal possessions, two handkerchiefs, a pocket watch, and boxes of safety matches. Your task is to rank order those things you deem most important to your survival from 1 to 15first individually and then as a group.
