to the plane, dive underwater, break the window glass with his hatchet, and get the survival pack.
In the survival pack he finds two bars of soap, some freeze-dried food, a sleeping bag, a cooking
set, waterproof matches, some lighters, a knife, some bullets, a first-aid kit, scissors, a compass,
a cap that said CESSNA, a radio transmitter and a fishing kit. He took the radio transmitter and

fire. And decided to cook some freeze-dried food using his cooking set. There where so many
choices to choose from. But after sorting through them all he finally chose a beef and potato
