Journal #2 Yanko

While two of us were building the shelters, the rest of the group decided they wanted to take a swim. This is unacceptable. If we want to ever get rescued, we will need to work hard towards the common goal. After this, we decided that rules should be put in place. Firstly, work first, play later. This means that while we have tasks to complete, no one should be fooling around and playing games. The next rule is that there has to be a certain place designated for certain things. For example, there is a place set aside to be used as a washroom. We have stones set on the ground for cleaning fish. There are also trees set aside for firewood and shelter. Another rule is that no one is leader. This way, we won’t be bossed around and all decisions will be made as a group. I think the most important rules are the first and last. Working hard is what will get us rescued faster. We do not want to have our signal fire not smoking while a boat or plane is passing by. We also need to make all decisions as a group. I still think that the people that went for a swim made a bad decision. When priorities are completed, then we will be able to have fun. Perhaps if we split the work, some can rest and the others can work. But to walk away while we are busy working? This is no way for us to be rescued quickly. In the future, we will motivate each other by encouraging and promoting the positive results of our work. If someone is getting tired, then they will receive a break. Knowing that we must be rescued in order to survive is the sole drive of our efforts.
