If You Land on a Deserted Island...

Today in my Law class we had to discuss, in groups, about what to do on a deserted island (in the South Pacific). Of course you must find food, water, build a shelter (on high ground), make a fire, create tools to use, and of course the two guys in my group decided that you must also search for pirate treasure. The following question was what is the order of most importance:

1. Find food and water
2. Find high ground to build the shelter on (one guy suggested that somehow we build the shelter then find high gound)
3. Build the shelter
4. Make a fire to heat the water and maybe cook with
5. Create tools to kill animals for food as well as for protection
6. Find the pirate treasure, that is supposedly on this deserted island.

Then form a democracy, the person who believed he should be in charge wanted to build a shelter first than find high ground to build it on was also the guy who planned on finding pirate treasure so that if we were ever found we would be rich. If they can't take the assignment seriously (even though he swore he was being serious) I would hate to see what happens if they ever end up on a deserted island.

By the time we had finished 4 of the 8 questions the rest of the class was done and we (the girls) were trying to explian you don't need temperary shelter it was barely dawn.

So here's my question to you, if you were stranded on a deserted island what would you do, and do you think you would come across these problems????
