So pretend you are the only survivor in a plane crash. you can crash in the canadian wilderness with a hatchet, and a days worth of food, or in Africa with a jacket, and a small pistol. if you decide to crash in canada, if you dont want the hatchet, and food, you may choose a warm sweater, and a knife. In Africa, you have the choice between the original gear and a fire starting kit with a bow and arrow you use in your backyard, and are a decent shot. Which would you choose if you wanted to survive for as long as possible, and eventully reenter civilization, and how?

Alone with only a hatchet and a day of food would be nearly impossible for anyone, even those highly trained. Can you use wreckage to help or are you naked with ONLY a hatchet and food?

In canada its in the forest in spring, with a small lake, but the forest is filled with bears, wolves, deer, snakes, and anything else found in the forests, including rabbits, squirells, small birds, and bugs. Its chilly, but nothing you can't handle. and you do have clothes, but cannot use wreckage, as Your 2 person plane is in the bottom of the lake with a dead pilot. (Which is a direct scenario from the book,"Hatchet" which the place, and supplies are basd on to.
