Default Being new to the Island of Lost

now then, I going to have to say that a very good percentage of us has never been involved in a plane crash......me neither. So, my point would be this, if I'm ever on a plane that crashes, hopefully never, but, if that were to happen. I believe that I would be like Syaid did, and have to go out and look around, explore the island that I was on, maybe find the hotel on the other side with a 5 star restrant in it.....sorry, went away, back now.... I don't think that I would be staying on the beach, just setting there.......daaaaaa, sure hope someone will come looking for us...... now don't get me wrong, I would want to get off the island but I would want to know what is there also....

I'd try to find a way to ferment bananas and coconuts so I could get drunk for a couple of days. Then I'd explore a lot. But I'd have to be careful about getting hurt, because I don't think health insurance covers sprained ankles resulting from running from smoke monsters and polar bears.

But don't forget that in almost every case of a plane crash occurring rescue crews are at the scene very quickly. Planes usually don't disappear from radar and lose all contact before crashing, not to mention already having strayed from the course by thousands of miles, so this case is pretty unique.

With that said, I would most likely sit there and wait to be rescued in a realistic situation lol, but I've always said that if I was one of the Oceanic survivors I would have immediately started organizing the construction of a massive fortress/dwelling/shelter. Shelter and acquiring resources are pretty much the two most important parts of survival.
