1. The mirror is critical for signalling 2. The petrol is critical for signalling.- the mixture will float on water and could be ignited with one of the 100 RON notes and a match. 3. One case of army rations-it will the basic food you need to survive 4. Plastic sheeting can be used to collect rain water 5. 2 boxes of chocolate bars could be your reserve food supply (Why did you have so much chocolate with you????) 6. Fishing kit- there is no guarantee you will catch any fish. 7. Shark repellent - enough said! 8. The small transistor radio is useless because it’s broken; you are out of range anyway! 9. The maps of the Atlantic Ocean will be useless without any navigation equipment 10. The mosquito net is useless-there are NO mosquitoes in the middle of the ocean!
