Question:
How can I
survive on a
desert island?
What life or death
situations do you know?
Finding Water
Finding a source of clean drinking water should be your first priority. The
body can not live without water for more than 3 or 4 days; however you
can survive over 3 weeks without food.
Sources of Water:
• Rain Water:
Use any containers you can find and set them out in order to catch any
rain water that falls.
• On The Island:
The further inland you go, the better your chances of finding a water
source. If the island is large enough, there is the possibility of finding
streams and waterfalls that will provide fresh drinking water.

Background Information
Build a Fire
Building a fire not only keeps you warm, but it will help to signal any
rescue planes that are flying overhead.
• Building The Structure:
Step 1: Gather dry tinder, twigs, and branches of various sizes.
Step 2: Using the smaller twigs, create a tepee shape with tinder
placed in the center.
• Lighting The Fire:
If you have glasses, binoculars, or a camera, use the lens to
concentrate the rays on the tinder to ignite it. Then blow when it
starts smoking.
Finding Food
Your best source of food will be the fish in the shallow areas
surrounding the beach. The surrounding water should be shallow
enough to walk through and look for fish.
In order to catch the fish, the easiest technique is to use spear fishing.
Create a long spear from one of the branches you find on the island.
Make the tip as sharp and long as possible, but be sure that the stick
is long enough to throw and that it has some weight.
Beware Predators
Depending on the island, be aware of any possible animals that might
be inhabiting For protection, make a spear and knife from any
branches that you find lying around.
