Lago Blanco • A source of drinkable water and food • It is located on la Isla Grande Tierra del Fuego • The water is perfectly safe to drink • Source of trout and other fish

The weather in Tierra Del Fuego is the opposite of ours. The weather is very hot at the beginning and end of the year and colder in the middle of the year. The best time to go would be from January to March because it is not as cold as the rest of the year and gets a decent amount of rain water which contestants can collect and drink.

Possible Problem The tribes may have to deal with rain or snow, both very abundant in Tierra del Fuego. They can stay in their shelter in case of rain or snow, and make sure to stay warm in a snow storm. Weather on Tierra del Fuego is somewhat unpredictable. it can rain, snow, and be sunny all within a 15 minute time span.

Challenge • With the unique location of the show, the contestants will undergo a triathalon race, involving running, swimming, and canoeing • Contestants will run halfway around http://drewgoldsack.ca/wpthe length of Lago Blanco, meeting at content/uploads/2009/10/Running-Duck-Lake1024x576.jpg a specified location in order to tag their partner • The partner will then swim one kilometer to a floating platform, on which they will tag the last person • The challenge will end with the first person to cross the finish line, who will then be able to choose a luxury item for their team http://www.fairpoint.net/~honcho/canoe/canoe0196.jpg

Luxury Item • Every team will have the opportunity of earning by way of a challenge:

A Hatchet

A Fishing Rod

Avoiding Impacting the Environment • Contestants will not be allowed to kill endangered animals, or any animals that are not necessary for survival. • Contestants will also be forbidden to destroy or harm any plants that are not necessary to survive. • They will also have to avoid migratory paths, and keep their fires controlled. http://www.bing.com/images/sear ch?q=controlled+fire&view=detail &id=11D3EE3CF617882C609BA 204065E7DE0FFAA3A41&first=3 1&FORM=IDFRIR

Source of Renewable Energy On Tierra Del Fuego, there are several species of trees that are good for making fires. Contestants can make fires in order to stay warm and cook food using the wood found from the trees around them.

Division of Labor Group members will have to: • gather firewood • collect water • fish http://voices.washingtonpost.com/reliable-source/survivor22_624.jpg • cook food • make shelters • wash containers • other occasional duties The teams may assign duties based on character traits, gender or other specifications.

Medical Emergencies http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/ thumb/d/d0/Flag_for_hospital_ship_of_the_Regi a_Marina.svg/600pxFlag_for_hospital_ship_of_the_Regia_Marina .svg.png

If someone is in the need of medical attention, there will be an on-site medical crew, and if it is very serious, they can be transported by helicopter to Dr. Marcos Chamorro Hospital which is open 24 hours a day for emergencies.

Medicinal plants Survivors will have access to medicinal plants including Winter's Bark and Misodendrum Linearifolium. Winter’s bark can be used to cure toothaches, dermatitis, upset stomachs, and it can be used as an anti- allergen.

Misodendrum linearifolium is a semi-parasitic plant that can be rubbed on the body to relieve muscular pains.

Shelter • A simple lean to is one of the best ways to go • There are various types of trees that can be used as support beams for the shelters structure. • Various branches can be used as roofs on the tops of the shelter. • Bark from trees can be used as a sort of rope to tie together the support beams together as well as the branches

Food • Contestants may fish in Lago Blanco • Fish include: -Brown Trout -Rainbow Trout -Zebra Trout http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_PsjHuBixEKo/THAJG8e • While not a fish, can also fish for HfRI/AAAAAAAAAHs/ik1lFZbqms/s400/Rainbow+Trout+-+Mend+Lessspider crab 1.jpg • Forage for food in the forest, such as wild raspberries • Indian Bread Tree Fungus is a mushroom that contestants will be able to eat (sclerotum, compact mass of fungi containing food reserves) http://www.blogcdn.com/www.sl ashfood.com/media/2008/07/ras pberries.jpg

Predators/Animals to Watch Out For • Culepo (Lycalopex culpaeus) • Large fox population - May scavenge food contestants collect • Contestants will need to secure their perimeter with sharpened branches, in order to ward off these predators
