Island 4 Day 2

It was a challenge to get work done over the weekend, wasn't it? Well, each member needs an assigned role. You have already gathered your supplies, explored the island, and created a map. Now you need to make plans for how to survive.

Section [06] Members

Look at the member page again, and add a third column to the member table that will be called “roles.” You should decide based on survival IQ and quality of contributions who will do what. You must also nominate and elect a leader. But first, write job descriptions for each role. Figure out how you will do this so it is fair for the rest of the sections. Remember, every member must still contribute to the wiki in order to get a grade.

Some of the roles you NEED to consider are:  

• Leader (one per island): The leader will not only have the final say, but he or she will also make sure every member is doing their part and contributing to their project. A leader’s main job will be to leave comments for the other groups. They also assist the hunter/gatherers. In case of emergency, the Leader relays messages to other islands.   Section 06: We nominate Kelsie Augustin

• Hunter gatherers: The hunter gatherers gather food for the tribe to sustain itself on. They can get food from many animals on the island such as wild boars and they can gather fruit and berries such as coconuts. They also have the job to fish for the tribe. In case of emergency, hunter gatherers can go fishing in the ocean where it is more dangerous, as compared to the lake.

• Builders/maintainers of shelters: The builders work on building shelters. They can use the palm tree fronds to form rope to help with the building. In case of emergency such as bad weather, they have to come up with an emergency plan. They also build up protection for our shelters in case of wild boar attack.
• Water and firewood gatherers: The water/ firewood gatherers are in charge of gathering supplies and water purification. In case of emergency, they can use the water purification drops or boil water in the metal cup. The water and firewood gatherers also gather water and firewood. They make trips to the lake, and also search for usable, dry firewood. Though the work is simple, it is necessary.

Last tip: it would be useful if the members of the same section are in a similar role, that way you can complete a task together. The leader can be from any section and contribute to their particular group as he or she wishes.

Section 09 Members

First, do you approve of the leader nominated and chosen by the previous group Yes, Kelsie is good, section 4 approves

If not, nominate a new leader:

You now have been assigned roles, but for today, you are also the plan builders. You must come up with a plan of action for the following situations:

Medical emergency:

• Type 2 Diabetes, Stomach aches, diarrhea: Cactus fruit
• Sun burn keep person out of sunlight, use plastic bag to make shade and give them water. Avoid dehydration!!!
• Small abrasive injury Wipe injury down with an antibacterial wipe and let heal
• Large Cut: Cut out strips from blankets and stem flow of bleeding by pressing. We have guaze in our first aid kit for this.
• Broken Bones: Use trees/branches to make a splint and let heal
• Major head trauma: If person is inconscious, put in bed out of light, and have someone check on them.
• Death: The Body would be set afloat in the sea.
• No Cannibalism - Unless there is not other food on the island, and the rest of the group is bordering on starvation.

Hunting/Gathering Techniques:

• Cactus: Use a sharp object, such as the knife, to cut the cactus. This provides water and food. Also, cacti contain purified safe-to-drink water!
• Coconuts: Make makeshift rope out of palm fronds and put a weight at one end. We can use this to climb trees.
• Berries/natural resources: Designate gatherers to comb through the forest in search of usable resources
• Fishing: Make a net out of palm fronds and use bait to trap fish
• Hunting: Use spears made from sticks and have hunters rotate who roams the forest in search of boars and small animals. Bring back to main camp and cook over open fire

Possible Mutiny:

•  Quarantine: Quarantine mutineer in a  wooden prison/cave until the rest of the people decide that the mutineer is to be set free

1. For Minor Offenses - Mutineer gets assigned to unpopular jobs such as waste disposal
2. For Major Offenses - The other islanders will convene to decide on a proper punishment.

Attempts to get rescued:

• Signal Fire: - Build a large signal fire, its smoke will get attention from and planes or ships passing by. In the daytime, we use the mirror's reflections to signal to passing planes or ships.
• Whistle: Used to get attention of rescuers

Tip:  Include how you will use the six tools and your island’s natural resources (as shown in the introduction page) to solve these problems. 

Section [04] Members

First, do you approve of the leader nominated and chosen by the previous group?

Yes

If not, nominate a new leader:

You now have been assigned roles, but for today, you are contributing to plans surrounding shelter.

• Our shelter will be in the cave. At night we roll a stone in front of entrance, just tall enough so that boars dont get in but we can get out at night if necessary. We have a small window/chimney in which smoke can go out. We have a main entrance, where we can all store food and come together as ISLAND 4. Palm fonds are used as "doors"/privacy. When there is less fresh fruit we can hang them from branches and let them dry out. The stream is by our cave is convient.
• Visual Model

This is what the inside of our cave looks like.  Our cave consists of three large, adjacent rooms.  For sleeping purposes, we have a bed room and an extra room.  In the bed room, there are many beds which are made out of a wooden bade (from some local trees) and a lot of blankets which were brought on the plane.  In the common room, there is a fire place to keep us warm and a hole in the ceiling to release the smoke.  Finally, in our cave we have a supply of foods (such as fruit) for our diets.  This cave is very useful because it will protect the people from the elemens of the outdoors.
