Well, let's see...first of all, there was either some massive tragedy like a tsunami that stripped half my stuff away or I was mugged and dropped out here, or else you forgot to mention that I have my purse with me. Because you see, I ALWAYS have my purse with me.
Since you didn't say I was soaking wet and half-drowned and surrounded by sodden furniture and stray livestock, I'm going to assume it wasn't a tsunami. Since you said nothing about me avoiding the manhunt for me after I killed a man, I will assume the mugging is also not the basis of this scenario. Therefore, I assume, logically, that I DO have my purse and you just neglected to mention it.
Since I have my purse with me, I will proceed with my survival plans.
First, I will take one of the two mylar emergency blankets from my purse. I will cut it in half, using half to create a lean-to shelter with tree limbs and the half-blanket as a tarp. I will reserve the other half for now. The second blanket I will wrap in at night to stay warm.
Next, I will have a little snack with one of the power bars I always carry. Gotta keep up your energy! I'll stay hydrated with the water bottle I have and I will work on rigging up access to fresh water for refills.
I'll collect some firewood and start a lovely little fire with the lighter from my purse. Should I need to use the "facilities" behind a bush, I do have a kleenex pack in there that should suffice for needed hygiene issues.
Now, I burn easily, so in the daytime I will put some moisturizer with sunblock on my exposed skin. Chapstick is also good and I will be sure to use that. I actually have a suture set in here, so I'll be using that to fish if I am near water of any type. Mmmm, fresh fish is the best!
After dinner, I'll pull out a paperback and read a bit before snuggling up in my shelter, wrapped in my blanket, beside the fire. Should I want a little treat, I will munch on the emergency chocolate from the hidden compartment in my purse. (Yes, all women have that. No, we won't show you.)
In a few days, if I've not been rescued, it's time to decide: Do I attempt to make my way to civilization and help, or do I impale Boleslav's head on a stick and go native? Ah...decisions, decisions.
