Survival+-+Week+One

**Location and Physical Characteristics of Place**
Draw the part of Australia into which the group will land from a hat. Look at a physical map of your area. Note any physical features that may help you.

These people are pretend and they are drawn from a hat - you can only take 5 people, but you draw 10 - you must make a T-chart of strengths and weaknesses; your peoplle have titles such as “engineer” or “cook”. The “things” are single things, unless you want to take a box of nails, which come in counts of 100 nails per box. Your capsule is small; you cannot fit vehicles or ATVs.

You land. It’s time to evaluate your surroundings. Assess your specific area and your immediate needs.
