What to do first?

The boy in Hatchet thought that he had to do something.  What should he do first?

• try rubbing rocks to make fire
• try to chop down a tree
• try to make a shelter
• try to find food
• try to make a shelter with branches
• try to make a shelter in the trees
• try to make a hunting blind
• make an "H" on the beach, or "SOS"
• try to make a floating shelter
• try to cut down trees in the shape of SOS
• try to make three piles of anything

Two groups decided that food would be the best thing to find now.  One group decided that shelter would be the best thing to find.
