I assume nobody is looking for me and my cellphone is not working.

The first thing I do is break out my $.99 poncho from my PSK and put it on. While it is still light I then gather twice as much wood as I think I am going to need for a fire. I cover this firewood with my space blanket to keep it from getting too soaked. I then use the remaining daylight to build a debris shelter consisting of deadfall, pine boughs, and the 20' of paracord I have. When that is done I uncover my firewood. While I use the space blanket to catch rainwater into my 3 breast milk bags, I then make a small fire at the entrance using my premade tinder. I then use the space blanket as a reflector for the fire. Finally I make some hot boullion in my BCB tin. I think 2 cups will be sufficient. I replenish my water supply at some point during the night with the aid of my Photon 3, making sure I have enough for 2 cups of hot coffee in the morning. I shiver all night, but in the morning I'm alive.
