    1. Surviving the soaking wet wilderness when you're cold - murder crabs and the toilet.

      I'm below a few meters of snow. I remember thinking, "I need to create a pocket of air here, so that I can breathe" but I concluded that I would definitely be dead if I couldn't get myself out of there fast. I could see the sun shining through the snow even though I was a few meters below it. I manage to crawl myself out of the snow. As soon as I get up there's water everywhere, and I'm leaning toward a piece of ice in the middle of the water. I was freezing to death, and I knew from my experience in wildness survival that I wouldn't survive without getting warm, especially since I was soaking wet and losing heat fast.

      I went through it in my head "Shelter first, or I'll die of hypothermia, I can make it a while without food and water, just get warm, but grab any food you can on your way to shelter if there's an opportunity". I see this very wide island with some trees on it a few hundred meters in front of me. As I'm swimming too it I can see and feel crabs everywhere. I rationalize "grab a few for later!" at the same time I realize getting a fire would be difficult because it had been raining. There were hundreds of them around me and at one point there were so many of them I thought they would pull me below the water and that I would drown. Once I got to the island I hadn't managed to grab a single crab. I soon realized that this was a very small island, and that there was a bigger one behind it.

      I appeared on the other island and I began running around in the wilderness, trying to figured out a way to get warm knowing I don't have much time. I realize there's no way I can get warm fast enough with a self-made shelter considering it was so cold and everything is wet. I keep running, and soon I see a small building. It reminds me of the place we stored our playground toys as a kid in kinder garden, the vibe I get is that I'm at a school ground, even though I realize I'm not. Next to the small building there is a large villa, with several glass doors next to each other, I want to get inside but I realize there is a hostile in there so I try avoiding being seen.

      I make it up to the small building, and there are two massive padlocks (one would be about the size of your hand) and a chain keeping the door locked. I realize that the key is hanging in one of the padlocks, so I make my way in. As soon as I get in there is a 1 feet distance to another door. I open that door, and there's a toilet. The place is very very small, it's as wide as the toilet and the sink is right in front of me as I sit down. I don't mind, I was just happy about getting warmer, and I could literally feel slowly warming up, from being completely frozen. It felt really good and I was relieved.
