outdoor survival tips

I am playing an outdoor survival game? Any ideas on what to use to do what? Read below!?
Ok I just started a game- like my plane crashed and I'm the only one alive. I have 1 cloth bag with a first aid kit, pen, notebook, and a first-aid tips book. i also have a long rope, jumprope,1 bowl, a waterbottle, a bowl, and a bucket. I am playing in my backyard. I have a big tree. I have a swing-set but I don't think I should use it. i have a little sand-box and castle I also don't think I should use. I get a flashlight inside when its dark? Any tips on like what I could use to do what? It's boring just sitting their. I need ideas of what to use things for. Like (EXAMPLE) maybe I could use the rope as a rope swing. And I could get some things from inside but not like a bed or so much stuff it takes 2 hours to clean-up. Please tell me ideas. Thanks, LOVE Nicole!
ONLY NICE COMMENTS!
In real life, your priorities are...
- Shelter- where can you go to be safe from insects, animals, and the weather- but still be seen by rescuers?
- Water- you need water to survive. What are you doing for it? You have plenty of storage things, where is the water coming from and how are you making possibly unsafe water safe? (Boiling would be the most common answer.)
- Food- not a high priority in the short term, but it can be a morale booster anytime. Even something like making tea can help!
- Fire- this is a key survival skill. Learning how to make a fire under a wide variety of conditions with an assortment of tools is very helpful.
Some skills you can work on would include (assuming you are old enough, or that they are safe to practice for you):
- Fire-making. Try using some fluffed cotton from your first aid kit, the batteries from your flashlight, and some steel wool, OR a small lighter you had in the first aid kit to sterilize things with.
- Catching bugs. Shine your light on a sheet and see what gathers. Learn what bugs are what and which can be eaten and how.
- Making a shelter. Learn how to make a lean-to, teepee-like structure, etc.
- Make a bed, chair, or other furniture. Learn to lash sticks together to make simple structures.
- Learn which plants in your neighborhood are safe to eat. If you have access to a place where you have permission and know the plants are not exposed to chemical sprays or fertilizers, you might even try gathering and preparing them!
Grab yourself a copy of a good survival and outdoor activities book. The Boy Scout Field Book is OK, but the Boy's Handy Book is my favorite for this.

You're all set.






















Well, I am just guessing she is an earth sign from what I read. She sounds alright, and the fact that she says she loves animals, is a check mark for her. In my books, 'simple', is always better.
cwg says: you're still whining about that clubhouse after 28 years????? Give unto me a break-ith. And as for the wire strung along the trees between our yards, I admit that was a tad reckless.
