Survival situation - what would you do?

[haptalaon]

My inclination would be to make shelter and await rescue, conserving energy albeit ensuring you have made sufficient signals to be spotted from the air.

That's a good angle to consider.

I've read a fair number of disaster memoirs now, and as far as I can tell the rule is

1. If everything is going to plan, shelter in place. That's much safer, preserves resources and strength, you're easier to find.

2. If something has gone horribly wrong, somebody is going to have to hike out of there and get help/you are going to need to rescue yourself

And of course the difficulty is you never know which one you're in.

Generally survivors in disaster memoirs only make it because someone made it over the mountain/back to base camp/etc and raised the alarm; it's the failure of. the systems that protect you in scenario 1 which turn it into a full on disaster.

No mention of ammo for the .45 so its as much use as a chocolate fireguard without it.
British pounds in the US?

TBF It also doesn't say the Flashlight has batteries - just that its a 4 cell.
I think its a reasonable assumption it has ammunition. And the flash light has batteries.

Pounds and Pence - Not sure if any countries near the states use Stirling (don't think so?) but you are in an aircraft so possible you've flown IN from somewhere that does. As its a light aircraft however the hypothetical range is going to be limited to worm hole.

The legal infringement guff is just a con job by a lawyer trying scare tactics to get money as a share of the take. There was a similar thing a few years back claiming, I think it was software/TV access, who made the mistake of recruiting a uk lawyer to try it on here. Got some money from gullibles, bit hazy memory but I think the UK lawyer got physically threatened and his office burnt out.
