Shelter, fire. water and food. Shelter first. About 60 days without food and 3 days without water both depend on varying factors. Sex, age, weight and water consumption to name a few. 4 to 6 cups a day. Best tool for fire is whatever gets the job done with least amount of energy expended. #6- knife. #7- shelter, wind break, ground cover, water collection and cordage. #8- Sun. #9-position of the sun. #10 is a no.
