   If I found myself in a situation where a flight crashed and I had to survive in the wilderness for 100 days, I would focus on a few key priorities:

   1. Assessment and First Aid: First, I would check myself and any others for injuries and provide first aid if needed. It’s crucial to ensure everyone is as safe as possible before moving on.

   2. Finding Shelter: I would look for or create a shelter to protect against the elements. If there’s wreckage, I might use materials from the plane. Otherwise, I’d find natural structures like caves or build a temporary shelter using branches and foliage.

   3. Water and Food: Next, I’d prioritize finding a clean water source and identifying safe food sources. If I had any survival gear, I would use that to collect and purify water. For food, I’d look for edible plants, fruits, and if possible, try to catch fish or small game.

   4. Signaling for Help: I would make signals for rescue. This could include creating large signs on the ground, using reflective materials, or creating smoke signals if it’s safe to make a fire.

   5. Mental Resilience: I’d work to maintain a positive mindset and stay focused on survival. Mental strength is just as important as physical abilities in a survival situation.

   6. Planning and Routine: Establishing a daily routine would help manage my time and energy. I would set aside time for exploring the area for resources, maintaining shelter, and practicing skills like foraging or building.

   7. Staying Informed: If I had any means of communication (like a phone that still works), I would try to signal for help. Otherwise, I’d stay observant for search aircraft.

   Overall, I would remain adaptable and keep learning from my environment to increase my chances of survival until help arrived.
