So let's say you were stuck on a small uninhabited island which was home to nothing but 1 dead tree. You had with you a moderate-sized canister of drinking water, a bottle of alcohol, a roll of bandages, a lighter, and a handsaw....It was not your first day there, and you were extremely hungry. All attempts to catch fish or other sea life have ended in failure and more exhaustion. You know you won't last much longer if you don't get nourishment ASAP.
You know ships pass through the area, but for all you know it could be many days until the next one.
well, i would empty the alcohol bottle into the ocean, seen as alcohol only deprives the body of hydration and makes you stupid. But i would keep the bottle. For drinking water i would make a filter out of the bandages on the alcohol bottle. And, anything that might be left, i would use the lighter to make a fire from dead ferns from the tree, (That or some wood from it...) I would use the hand saw to cut the tree into fire wood, Hold the bottle over it, and let the water boil so it kills the germs and bacteria inside. With the nourishment problem... i am royaly screwed, i know nothing on how to fix that lol.
Same as above, except you have another person with you. You didn't know him before you ended up on this island. Between you 2 you have all the same tools as in the first situation. You are both extremely hungry...and water supply is dwindling even faster with 2 of you there. What do?
Same thing as above except when the guy fell asleep, he wouldn't wake up. I'd use his body for nourishment. lol, CANABAL!
