C, I dont need a gun cause let`s face it, Im not going to snipe dinosaurs for meals. The book seems very useful to someone that has no idea what they are doing in the wilds (like me), you cant go wrong with a machete and if I`ve learned anything from videogames over the years is that you can never have too much rope.
Knives are kinda lame when compared to an axe and a machete, I probably won't have any idea how to apply anything in that medkit, and I have no idea how to use a gun. Not to mention that there's no way I'm going into some ruins to find ammo. So that's option A gone for me. The three year supply of water purification pills sound very tempting, but I won't know what the fuck to do to survive long enough to even use them, besides, I can always drink my own piss. As for the fire, the handbook will probably teach me how to make one, assuming that it's any good. I fucking love machetes in videogames, plus with that rope, I can probably climb to new places or, if I'm stupid enough, tame my own dinosaur. So yeah, I'll go with C.
Because Im no movie action hero I will probably use one of those to kill myself, or hide in some hole until I figure something out , no Dino is gonna have the pleasure of eating me, seriously can any of you be sure to have the balls and reflex to shot a flesh eating Velociraptor?... yeah thats what I tought
(A) I really want a chainsaw and lots of fuel mix. I'd kill the biggest ones first, as there would be lots of BBQ, and less big clods chasing me around.
B - Axe = weapon and tool to build shelter and make other weapons. Water is essential to survival so all you need is food. Fishing <--- As huntind small animals will be nearly impossible with dinosaurs around and hunting a dinosaur would be pretty damn hard. And flint / steel so you can cook your food and stay warm. Shit, Id start a forest fire after i cleared a small portion of trees for myself and let them all burn! also the fire on the island might signal to some far away boat or plane and they can come rescue me so i wouldnt have to be tree for 3 years.
I picked B mainly because of the water purifying pills and fire starter but I am surprised not more people picked A. If it werent for the water pills, I would have picked A. A survival handbook does only so much so long as you have the ability to do the things it tells you. I mean a gun can kill animals quickly, a knife can basically do everything an axe or machete can do and medical supplies are absolutely required, especially if you will be on a dinosaur island.
A. Good knife more useful as a fine tool. Also, you're not going to use the axe or machete against a dinosaur. It's a dinosaur. Meds are invaluable when the inevitable injuries and infections start cropping up. The rifle is more valuable for its scope than its capacity to shoot things, but finding a boxful of .308s certainly wouldn't hurt now and then. the purifying pills and the firestarter are nice, but starting a fire from scratch isn't the trickiest thing and theres going to be some kind of container in the medkit you could us to full with water and boil it over a fire you made boy-scout style. My plan? if there are ruins, find a good ruin, settle in and see what's kicking around in there. If someone left a bunch of ammo they're bound to have left a bunch of more generally useful stuff.
As a person who is studying to become a paleontologist I know that I would want to be as far away from the dinosaurs as fucking possible. So I picked A.
C) The rope is going to be incredibly valuable getting up a tree (think tree-climber style where you wrap the rope around a tree) and/or setting traps for small dinos, which you would then hack up with the machete... Disturbing, I know.
A. On islands, you can usually drink the stream water and be fine. Since the shrubbery there naturally cleans the water, and there is far less pollutants since there are no cars or factories around.
If there was a specified amount of supplies in the medkit (three years' worth, for example, like with the water purifying pills), I might've gone for A, though.
B It would be nice to kill at range with the gun from A, but that thing would be loud as hell. Last thing I need is to slowly destroy my hearing and attract everything in the nearby area as well. Either way none of the weapons are completely suitable for fighting dinosaurs, so you're screwed no matter what if you try to fight them.
