Who Would You Save?

[Wayne C.]

I love these sort of scenarios and think about them all the time (Scary huh....)


Assuming I too would be in the life boat and have my Water Buffalo Killer Knife (yes- I always have that and other things with me)..

I would save

1. Dr. Dane-a botanist has a fair understanding of food plants and pharmacology
4. Mrs Victor-tough enough to survive a lot of hardships
6 Mary Evans-young (durable) and creative
7. Mr. Newton-med background and physically fit
8. Mrs. Clark-young enough to survive, skills of little use based on descrip
9. Mr. Blake- possible designer for escape and shelter
10.Father Frans-obvious farming skills but also a good moderator for the population

I would leave behind (sorry)-
2. Mrs Dane- probable non-survivor
3. Bobby- tough choice- could probably survive but as limited contributor to the survival of the rest ( I might change my mind here and drop Mrs. Clark)
5. Jeanne Garcia- how would you feed a 3 month old without a milk source?
11. Dr. Gonzales- for a doctor he doesnt seem to have very good health and probably would be of little help. The med student probably knows enough to deal with first aid type situations.


Assuming a reasonable part of the world as a place to land on a small island with a seacoast might support 8 people indefinitely. There is always food. There is an ocean for water if you can refine it. It wouldn't be fun but it is possible. And , like Gilligan, we could eventually escape
