Stuck in the wild, with nothing to defend yourself, and no provisions to live on...

Weapons:
Sharpened sticks,
Rocks,
Fire,
Forest Midgets (Sharp Teeth, Swung by the ankles),
Llama Spit.

If you get the chance to take weapons with you, you should take the smallest and lightest available.
Shields should be of no more than buckler size. These make for light and easy (slightly less hard)
travelling.

Making Fire:
Make a circle of rocks on the ground, fill the circle with twigs, dried leaves, and bark. Knock two stones
together to make a spark, blowing on the kindling to encourage the flame to grow. Pine sap will also burn
nicely.

Food:
Use the weapons to hunt,
Fruit,
Bugs,
Use string + insects to fish.

Drink:
Fresh water (Water from streams is ideal),
Failing that, filter pond-water with moss,
Melted snow/ice.

Shelter:
Bedrolls,
Tree canopies,
Strap logs together with vines/cord,
Piles of leaves/moss make good beds,
Burrow slightly into the snow/sand,
Animal hides for shelter/blankets/bedding,
Animal fur for clothes,
Huddle for warmth.
