Story Line:

You and a group are whitewater rafting on challenging sections of the South Fork of the American River. During a sudden storm, the raft over turns in the river and much of the equipment is lost. It is getting dark and much colder. How will you survive?

Participants rank the items they just salvaged for survival in order of their importance.
