24. Stranded in the Mountains
Cover Story
It was a clear day in December when your group decided to give yourselves a rest after the 3-day training in Baguio. Accompanied by a guide, several of you decided to go horse back riding up the mountains in order to see as much of the mountain as possible. Your group was already on trail at 10:00 AM.
Your group went through the thickly forested areas finally reached the peak at 2:00 PM. Your guide said you should only stay for 30 minutes so you could be back at the Teachers’ Camp before sundown. You let your horses graze in a small clearing while you ate your packed lunches and looked at the scenery. Everyone was so busy eating and gazing at the scenery that no one noticed a big

25. boa constrictor slither into the far end of the clearing
boa constrictor slither into the far end of the clearing. The snake’s presence startled the horses and before you knew it, all of them were bucking and bolting. Your guide happened to be near the horses but as he turned around to see what was happening, one of the horses knocked him down as they started to flee. He fell to the ground and hit his head on a rock. While some of you rushed to assist him, a couple of you ran to grab the leashes of the last two remaining horses that had also started to bolt … but too late!
The realization hit all of you at the same time – you’re now stranded in the forest somewhere in the mountains of Baguio, with an unconscious guide, no means of transportation, and with the only possessions that you happened to take out of your saddlebags when you stopped for lunch.

26. You know that the four-hour ride on horseback would probably take you eight hours on foot to go back to the Teachers’ Camp. When your group does not show up for the 7:00 PM dinner, you will be missed. Your DLL staff know of your trip to the mountains but they do not know your exact whereabouts. The area around you is extremely rugged, with steep embarkments, rugged cliffs and dense forest. You can’t see the water source but you think you can hear a faint sound of water. Everyone is dressed in light clothing. You noticed that the sky has clouded over and it has become tremendously cold. You recalled the guide mentioning how quick the weather changes in the mountains. You’re almost certain that you saw some rain clouds not too far away.

27. The Problem
Your group was not able to get any equipment off the horses before they bolted, so you can only have items that you took from your saddlebags. You guide appears to be gravely injured and has not regained consciousness. You have no idea whether the boa constrictor is still in the area. And to top it all, it looks like you’re going to be caught in a thunderstorm!

28. Your Position
Group members need to stay together and do either the following:
Stay put and wait to be rescued, or
Hike down the mountains

29. Your Tasks
Together with other members of the group, do the following tasks:
Decide which position you will take
Justify your decision
Write down the best procedure for carrying out your position.
Select the six possessions from the list that you think are the most important for implementing your plan.
Rank these six items according to their importance to your plan; starting with “1” for the most important.
