I picked the water and the case of army rations as my first two picks because you need both water and food in order to survive. My team and I took votes on what we thought our items should be ranked, one item that was similarly close to mine was the water which was exactly the same. An item that was ranked differently was the can of oil/ petrol i ranked it thirteen, my group ranked it number four. My answers and the expert answers were way different, i thought surviving was the key thing, but getting rescued turned out to be more important. I would trust the expert opion more because they are an expert and we are not.
