Hi guys,

today we tried to understand how Jamie could survive and what were the most important things to do when you had to survive:

He could survive thanks to...

- his shelter: he slept under logs.
- food: he ate berries and leaves. 
- water: he drank water.

The most important things to survive are:

1- You shouldn't panic. If you panic or if you are not de'termined, you can't do anything.
2- Water is more important than food because you can't survive with no water more than 3 days.
3- You must be 'visible for the rescue.
4- Other important elements: fire, shelter, ...

He was determined and he remained calm. He didn't panic.
