• You have just crash-landed in the woods of northern Minnesota and southern Manitoba.
It is 11:32 A.M. in mid-January. The small plane in which you were traveling has been completely destroyed except for the frame. The pilot, co-pilot and everyone else has been killed, but you aren't seriously injured. The crash came suddenly before the pilot had time to radio for help or inform anyone of your position. Since your pilot was trying to avoid a storm, you know the plane was considerably off course.
You are dressed in winter clothing appropriate for city. You notice what seems to be an abandoned cabin far up on a mountain and decide to scrounge the plane for supplies before leaving. While rummaging through the wreckage for survivors you come across a couple supplies. You can only carry 5 items with you, choose wisely.
Compress kit Ball of steel wool
Cigarette lighter without the fluid Loaded .45-caliber pistol
Newspaper
Two ski poles Knife
Sectional air map made of plastic 30 feet of rope
Family-sized chocolate bar Flashlight with batteries
Quart of 85-proof whiskey _ Extra shirt and pants
__ Can of shortening
I'll link the test and answers after a couple people submit. My grading scale is a bit harsher.
