Hot or Cold?

Would you rather be stranded in the Arctic or in a Desert? Considering the location, what one survival tool (THAT COULD FIT IN A BACKPACK)would be the most beneficial?

If I would be strended on a desert or artic desert i would choose and artic. The thing i would put in my backpack would be a pistal with a two inch scope. Why I pick that? So if I would get hungry I could shoot a polar bear or other anamal. Another reason would be that you could build a snow fort or igloo. Another reason would be that I could see pengiuns. Penguins are cool. A Forth Reason would be that if you got thirsty you would have snow all around you. You could just take a chunck of snow and eat it.

If i would have to be stranded i would pick the desert and i would take a nife.I would use it to stab lizards and other things i could eat.I would get my water from cacticies.How i would get it i would stab it in it then drink it.I would probaly live in the mountains or some where else.I would use my backpack a sortof a trap to get the animals.I would get sort of a pet like a snake unless it wold bite me then i might die.LOL that woudnt be a good pet not realy tho.Thats how i would live in the desert.

I would be in the Artic,because I would rather be freezing then sweating a lot. ( I hate Sweat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! a lot)
The tool would be a an all terrain veichel. NOT!!!!!! Because it has to fit in a back pack then it would be a revolvar with a lot of amunition. Then (I'm going with Brett) I could shoot a polar bear for food whenever needed. Oh yeah for food I could also swap a few pengiun eggs when they where not looking. Now if I could have that big all terrain truck I would be able to get around easily. (the heater feature would come in handy all the time) the truck would be stocked full of food. THE END

If I were to choose where I would be stranded it would be the Artic because I hate the heat! Also because I could build an igloo or something like a fort. I would name it Fort Wilcox. Also while I am there I could hunt polar bears and seals with my 12 gauge. I just thought about this. I could make my Fort Wilcox a city or even a country. Where all the buildings are made of ice and the supply of ice never really ends. I would bring one thing for sure and that is a 12 gauge. If I could bring more it would be a Swiss Army knife, food,canteen, blankets and a lantern and most importantly a bible also a digital camera to take pictures of penguins.
And that is what I would do.

If I could choose to be in a desert or the Artic, I would choose the Artic. I would bring a 12 gage shot gun for hunting and protection. If I saw a penguin I would shoot it and collect enough fur to make a coat. I could take the meat and eat it. I would take the snow and melt it to water and drink it. I could take a stick and carve blocks and make a fort. I would take fur to cover the inside walls and the ceiling. That is what I would do if I was stranded in the Artic with no humans for 100's of miles.

If I had to be living in a desert because then I would bring a camal and a knife. Then I could get far with a camal and find water or human life. I could also kill any animal that I could catch. If I had to I would also cut my camal and drink the blood. I picked the desert because I would want to be in a relly hot area then a relly cold area. I would like to feel the sand in between my toes, then always be wearing shoes. Thats why I picked the deaert over the artic.

If I had to pick either desert or artic I would definately pick artic. I am always warm!! I think it is easier to layer my clothes then keep taking off jackets and putting on lighter and lighter tops. In the artic there is snow so you can melt it for water. In my backpack I would bring a couple coats, food, and matches, wood, and a shovel. The matches and wood so I could make a fire. The shovel so I could dig a whole in the ground and be warmer and for cover. That is why I would pick the artic.

If I was lost I would choose to be in the desert because it is warmer and there is more wild life that you can eat than in the artic . Also the one survival tool I would bring is my Gameboy SP. NO actual I woud bring would be a backpack full of water.itwould be useful because of the heat in the desert. The down side of being stuck in the desert is that there are poisonous snakes and spiders. Also another down side is that the nights are really cold. Well that iswhere I would be lost and why I would be lost there. END.

If I would have to choose between the desert and the actic desert.I would choose the artic. Now I bet you think I'm crazy.but I'mused to heat becuase I vist New Mexico. But I like the cold,and it wouldn't be so bad. I like pengiwins how about you. I think plaing with the pengiwins would be fun. geting food would be a snap. All you have to do is fish.It may take a while but you still get food.Now sports you could go dog sleding. More exersize for the dogs though. It seems prity nice to me that is.

Definitly a dersert i mean that makes it so much easier my ultumite survivel tool in the desert (drum roll please) a bottle, no tons of bottles of water and some small ration packs and of course light clothes with these and my packpack i could probley take on a lot i mean water is so important and i could be some sort of nomad with out one single place to stay that is how i could survive (or if i did not have a ration pack or food i could use a auto seeking shotgun with amo then i could do some stuff) and if you could i would love a nice hummer with a bulit in GPS and air conditoning now that would rock just drive right over it oh and well i'm at it how about a proton torpedo lancher and a replicater and a whole star ship (fine forget it) but still water and wepons i thind are the tools to basic survivel in the desert.

IF I were to be stranded in the desert or arctic I would pick the Arctic. I would rather be cold than hot (dehidrated). Even though I am always cold I would still pick the Arctic because there's animals there that you could eat. How I would kill the food? I would bring a gun or a knife. Probably a gun because then i dont have to get close to it when with a knife I have to be like right there! Also for water well there is snow so you can drink that no matter how dirty it is. So that is what I would pick for being in the Arctic or the desert.

The End....

If i had to choose between a desert and a artic,iwould choose the desert.Why i choose that was because i HATE i mean i hate the cold.The one thig i would bring would be a knife.why i picked that is because,i could eat the animals and cut slits in catices so i could drink.I really wouldnt want to eat them ,but i think that i would have to.These are some other reasons that i would go to the desert,to see the animals and see how a desert works.I now kinda how it works ,but i would love to see how it does.

if i would be stranded in the desert or artic i would pick artic, because i would love to see how it is in the artic. i want to see all the artic animals. i would bring along a gun because i could use it for difence. and to kill food.but a knif would be useful too, to butcher the animal.oh well. it would be more fun in the artic because there soooooooooo much snow to build stuff in and play in, and for shelter. i would buld a fire. i would stay up all night watching the fire. i lovvvvvveeeee fires.but i am not a piro.lol.

If Zach is a cheater than you would be to because cheater has nothing to do with the desert or artic.I would bring a GPS and a shotgun and a gameboy SP to the artic.

I would pick the Artic. I would bring a shot gun, GPS, and a Gameboy SP. I would bring these because: with the shotgun I could shoot polar bears and seals, with the GPS I couldn't get lost easily, (I think GPS's are the best) I would bring the SP because it would be fun. I would throw snowballs at the peguins and ride the polar bears. I would set traps by dipping deep holes and put polar bear skin over it. I would have a speical igloo for melting water right next to my igloo. I would have polar bear skins for blankets. Also, after every day, I would lay in my bed, playin gameboy, and listening to the sounds of the great Artic.

if I had a choice to live in hot or cold I would chose cold. Because there would be lots of food there. That you could eat.
you could also make a Igloo for shelter. And hide from dangourous animals. One good food that you could eat is fish and of course I would bring a fishing poel. I would bring lots off warm cloths and a good wepon. to protect my self!!!!!!!!!
