The "survival" supplies, ratings

Mike Carson

Photos of Family and Friends - NOT useful (cept maybe as mapmaking paper, keeping track of the date if the photos are dated, keeping sanity through hope, kindling)
Paper, Pens, Pencils - useful as items to trade, or to use for mapmaking, trachiotomies (sp?)

Lenore Davis

Family Photo - NOT useful (w/ above photo caveats)
Ramblin' - Stuffed Bean Bag Frog - NOT useful

Zack Goodman

Harmonica - NOT useful (maybe you could pull it apart and sharpen the metal for a crude knife if it has a metal casing) Book Entitled "Conversations With God
Part 2" - NOT useful (keeping sanity, kindling)

Tina Kim
Advil - pain reliever (maybe a fever reducer, I forget)
Family Photos - NOT useful (w/ above photo exceptions)

Maureen Kyle

Pictures Of My Family & Friends - NOT useful (w/ above photo exceptions)
My Favorite Notre Dame Sweatshirt - extra clothing, bandages/tourniquet, string for fishing, sewing up cuts, making lightweight traps (small birds), repairing other clothes

Michael Michael

Guitar - much wire for sturdier traps/fishing/sewing, box for small trap, neck for weapon
"Beat It" Michael Jackson Jacket - scaring hostile survivors away


No mention of survival references/survival equipment/medical texts on NBC warfare or field medicine, person hygene items/medical equipment/NBC equipment/weapons/extra provisions/clothes/radios/environmental monitoring equipment (MTV has the $$ to rent some geiger counters, chem/bio hazard detection equipment)

sigh.......
